This article analyses the roots of the black movement during the 1970. The movement is called in this article the Movement of Black Consciousness. It suggests that we need to understand in a more profound manner the efforts to survive of past associations to understand how contemporary groups are governed. One's attentions is called to the continuity between the years 1937- the Brazilian Black Front - and the 1970, when the best known, but not the biggest or most important movement was the Unified Black Movement Against Racism - MNU. The article is based on the concept of Afrodescendent ethnicity against the idea of social race. It considers the ethnic identity based on social and cultural history. It defines the Black Movement as a complex and multifaceted one that goes well beyond the current definitions of social movements.
