A journey through time that tells the story of our heroes through a tour of Tiradentes Palace, the historic seat of the Rio de Janeiro State Legislative Assembly (ALERJ)
Our heroes: João Cândido, leader of the Revolta da Chibata; Antonieta de Barros, the first Black woman to be elected to Congress in Brazil; Machado de Assis, a leading figure in Brazilian literature; Timótheo da Costa, the artist responsible for the frescoes on the ceiling of the Noble Hall at Tiradentes Palace; José do Patrocínio, one of Brazil’s most important abolitionist and republican leaders; and Almerinda Gama, one of the leading voices of the women’s movement in the early 20th century
