Law 10.639, of January 9, 2003, includes in the curriculum of elementary and high school, public and private schools, the obligation to teach about Afro-Brazilian History and Culture. It also determines that the programmatic content will include the study of the History of Africa and Africans, the struggle of blacks in Brazil, Brazilian black culture, and the black contribution to the national society, rescuing the contribution of the black people in the social, economic, and political areas relevant to the History of Brazil. It also establishes November 20th as a commemorative date for the 'Day of Black Consciousness' in the school calendar. This law represents an advance not only for national education but also for Brazilian society because:


a) Ensures equality of access to education for Afro-descendants.
b) Reinforces the ethnocentric conception of Africa and its culture.
c) Legitimizes the teaching of human sciences in schools.
d) Disseminates knowledge for the Afro-Brazilian population.
e) Correct: Drives the recognition of the ethnic-racial plurality of the country.
