This work aims at understanding how high levels of inequalities from which injustice and social exclusion are derived become so evident, as we observe that the majority of the Brazilian population black people does not have dignified life conditions in order to guarantee these individuals with the right to citizenship. As the marginalization of black people is verified in the Brazilian Society we can make use of the teaching of Geography as an opportunity of debate and discussion about this reality. We discuss on the necessity of improvement and redoing of the school curriculum to convert the school in a democratic space, without racial prejudice as well as the value of family culture that is brought to the school. Some questions are references in this change: What representations the discourse of Geography does, regarding black people social inclusion? How are black people approached in the textbooks of Geography? What is defended by the teachers of Geography in the classroom? What is the role of the school in the citizen training? These questions point to a necessity of an articulation between Education and the specific content of Geography, recovering the political essence of the education act, in general, and, in a particular way, the school teaching of Geography.
