Em 24 de janeiro de 1835, rumores de que africanos planejavam uma revolta começou a circular em Salvador, então capital da província da Bahia, no Brasil. A notícia rapidamente chegou à população negra, escravizada e livre, que compunha a maioria da cidade. Enquanto os proprietários de escravizados entravam em pânico, a polícia reagiu freneticamente, vasculhando as casas de homens e mulheres africanos libertos, suspeitos de participação na conspiração.

Yet, if there is a country in the Americas where we can find Africa, it’s Brazil.
