This work presents part of the History research, Memory and Experiences: The "EJA" in the North of Minas Gerais 1940-1960, investigating local historiography, retracing the history and memory of the knowledge and practices of teachers. It sought to understand how they preceded in the adult literacy, considering the difficulty of that reality to the knowledge about their profession. Situated in the Field of Youth and Adult Education, focused on thematic oral history. The research results point to the way such educator’s trajectories were built, marked by the policy and teaching restraint in a time when the "Sertão" of northern Minas Gerais was considered a region of "habitual illiteracy resistance". The present research led to the perception that literacy teachers not only created working alternatives or even learned from their own experiences, but enrolled in a tradition, restoring ties with the "EJA", as tributaries, continuers and recreatives of a tradition.

Keywords : History; Memory; Knowledge and practices; "EJA" in the North of Minas Gerais.
