With the objective of reflecting on the political struggles carried out by black individuals and groups in the post-abolition, this article starts from the point of view of intellectuals gathered in the black press of Porto Alegre, more precisely during the first phase of the newspaper O Exemplo. (1892-1897). Their program focused on the fight against racism and ignorance and, in addition to ensuring quality formal schooling, they also intended to “educate by example”. Exploring the double meaning of this expression and the relationships entertained with the audience, we analyze the meanings attributed to instruction and education, with an emphasis on gender relations and expectations within this community. Thus, we hope to offer reflections such as the intersections of race, gender contributed to the construction of social inequalities and political agencies in the post-Abolition
