This paper aims at understanding the conceptions of teachers and students from a public school in the State of Pernambuco about the role of Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture, as well as on the implementation of Law 10.639 / 03 as an instrument to combat ethnic- racial at school. For this purpose, we use as theoretical reference the studies of Gomes (2005, 2008 e 2012), Munanga (2005), Gonçalves e Silva (2004 e 2015), Orlandi (1999), Yin (1989), and other authors who with their writings corroborated with the research. Regarding the investigative process, a questionnaire was applied to students in the age group between 16 and 19 years old. The qualitative methodology was used (6 teachers and 100 students). The understanding about this issue is justified by the need of socially deconstruct prejudice and racial discrimination suffered by the black population. The school plays a fundamental role in the process of constructing and reconstructing social values, that is why the results of research on the racial issue in the school context have shown that the Brazilian education system is based on a Eurocentric, monocultural, racist and excluding vision. All of this corroborates the mechanisms of exclusion, in which the school has difficulty fulfilling its true role, which is human education, educating, socializing, and training citizens committed to social transformation.
