Brazil: "A luta continua"

The 60's and 70's were not the best years of our lives. Like most countries
in Latin America, Brazil underwent through a violent military dictatorship
during those years ("os anos de chumbo"). Many people simply vanished from
the national scenario. Brasil,
nunca mais!(*) and/or Brazil,
nevermore? bring us back the story of those people who dared to dream.

Henfil(*).
"Ele nunca foi preso... Por outro lado, teve pencas de cartuns censurados".(from O
Estado de São Paulo, 1996). Henfil was one of the most censored brazilian
cartunist during those years. He created the so popular characters: Graúna
(the young lady at the top of my homepage), Bode Orelana, Zeferino, Fradim,...
Henfil died when he was 43 in 1988 victim of hemofilia and Aids.

PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores)(*)--"Sem
medo de ser feliz.." & Luis
Inácio Lula da Silva. The Brazilian Workers Party bloomed during
late 70's when Brasil was a bipartisan country imposed by the dictatorship.
In 1978 and 1979, Lula was the leader of huge strikes that paralyzed São
Paulo's multinational-owned automobile factories. Later as one of the most
prominent leaders on the struggle against the military dictatirship, LULA
became the first president of the "Partido dos Trabalhadores."
