Question 30

“The secret of Brazil’s success in building a humane, Christian, and modern civilization in tropical America has been her genius for compromise in the cultural and social spheres. Ethnic democracy is the almost perfect opportunity for all men regardless of race or color. Not that there is not race or color prejudice mixed with class prejudice. There is. But no one would think of having churches only for whites. No one in Brazil would think of laws against interracial marriage. No one would think of barring colored people from theaters or residential sections of a town. A general spirit of human brotherhood is much stronger among Brazilians than race, color, class, or religious prejudice. The Brazilian solution of the racial question is certainly wiser, more promising, and, above all, more humane than any solution that operates through separation or segregation.”

Normally the first to arrive was the battalion of Susana, followed by that of Vallerie, and others continued to arrive. In those days, the two worlds never mixed
