Why Luiz Gama
Born free, sold into slavery, freed by his own intelligence
Luiz Gama (1830–1882) learned to read at 17, proved in court that he had been born free and became a rábula, a lawyer without a degree. In the courts of São Paulo he used the Empire’s own law to free hundreds of enslaved people.
He was also a poet and journalist. The Magazine bears his name because it stands for the same idea: freedom is won with argument, law and the courage to speak your mind.
