CRUZ, Mariléia dos Santos. Erudition and racism in the upward trajectory of a black family in Maranhão. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2022, vol.22, e211.  Epub 01-Jul-2022. ISSN 2238-0094.  https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v22.2022.e211.

The present article aimed to rescue the social trajectory of a black family, whose most prominent member was the professor and journalist José do Nascimento Moraes. This family stood out for its adherence to a project of ascension based on erudition, which was enjoyed by generations. The research methodology contemplated the indiciary paradigm, involving analyses in a set of newspapers, available in the digital newspaper library of the National Library and in the Benedito Leite State Public Library. The study showed that despite the prominence of members of this family in the intellectual field, they were not exempted from facing racism.

Palabras clave : black education; education history; social mobility; racial discrimination.
