ALT black text on white background: “In Brazil a black man is killed every 23 minutes”

ALT Black text on white background: “There are some similarities between Brazil and the US. Both are countries of continental size, both were founded on the backs of slaves. Both now have presidents who don’t believe racism even exists, a mere excuse from people who should be doing better. But there is a stark difference. While in the US black people make up 13 percent of the population, in Brazil we are 54 percent, the biggest black population outside Africa. A majority that’s still fighting for basic rights: good-quality education, health, housing. The right to live.”
