This work is part of a research on the historical trajectory of african-Brazilian intellectual, Oliveira Silveira, while black militant, through a historiographical analysis about his poetry, described here within the perspective of "historical records" in the process of rewriting the history of black people in Brazil and in the diaspora. We also intend to analyze the political option for choosing the day of November 20 as the Africanist date in Brazil, within the time frame of 1962 (publication date of Oliveira's first work) and 1988 (the one century anniversary of the slavery abolition in Brazil and criminalization of racism in the Brazilian Constitution). Therefore, the research aims to bring light to black peoples's cultural affirmation in Brazilian society developed by the writer in his Africanists representations built through his poetry and political writings - in which the poet uses his words to fight against racism and to value the black culture in society. The research will be based on the poetry of Oliveira Silveira from 1962/1988 merged with the collective documentation produced under the Unified Black Movement (1978-1988).
