Abstract

The ongoing research discusses the valorization of the trajectories of Black personalities from the Crajubar triangle, formed by the municipalities of Crato, Juazeiro do Norte, and Barbalha, located in the interior of the state of Ceará. Its general objective is: To understand how ethnic-racial information about Black personalities from the Crajubar triangle can contribute to anti-racist education and the strengthening of local ancestral knowledge. Methodological procedures include the collection of documents, periodicals, physical and digital archives, and semi-structured interviews with Black personalities from the Crajubar region. The structuring axes of the investigation are: education, culture, and the Black movement, based on the National Curriculum Guidelines for Education on Ethnic-Racial Relations. As partial results, the documentary research revealed low representation of Black figures from Ceará in the analyzed works, as well as an absence of life stories linked to the Crajubar region. It is concluded that the Virtual Encyclopedia of Black Personalities of Crajubar will constitute a significant informational and educational product aimed at valuing local Black experiences and strengthening anti-racist library practices; furthermore, it will contribute to expanding access to ethnic-racial information and reinforcing Black memory and representation in the region.
