This work seeks to build the argument in defense of Agrarian Reform as a historical reparation for the Brazilian black population in the face of three main milestones in the country's history, namely: the Land Law of 1850, which, by instituting private ownership of land, prevents its access to the population that was about to be emancipated; the prohibition of access to public education for the enslaved and even recently freed population and the systematic expulsion from the field that was perpetrated with the civil-military dictatorship and its conservative and violent modernization. The work seeks to show that in order to overcome racism in the country, it is necessary to understand the inseparability of its origin with the agrarian question, therefore, its overcoming also requires overcoming the agrarian question itself. That’s why reparation to the black population trough access to land becomes fundamental.
