Brazil's black population

More than half of Brazil's population is Black,but it still struggles with racial inequality.

                           It's a remnant of the country's painful colonial past.Brazil imported more enslaved Africans than any other country and was the last nation in the Americas to abolish slavery in 1888.

                           Today a majority of people in Rio's impoverished favelas are Black.Residents are routinely gunned down as drug gangs fight each other and the police.Last year,police officers massacred 25 people during a raid in one slum.

                            Separately,in recent years,there have been several high-profile killings of black Brazilians that have sparked a national outcry.-Ana Ivanova,PRI ,The World,April 22,2021.
