The organizing committee of the Vladimir Herzog Journalism Award for Amnesty and Human Rights<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> unanimous accepted the recommendations of SJSP (Union of Professional Journalists of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo) and FENAJ (National Federation of Journalists) to honor the cartoonist and journalistic Laerte and the journalist Luiz Gama (in memoriam)<\/strong> in its 42nd edition. The commission also decided to honor the philosopher Sueli Carneiro<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Union of Journalists recommends Laerte for a brilliant body of work, marked by the defense of human, social and labor rights. This is a tribute of great importance for the world of journalism right now, as cartoonists have been in the crosshairs of recent attacks, whether the Military Police against Laerte and cartoonists of the Folha newspaper or the Bolsonaro government against Aroeira via the National Security Law. And for the \u2018in memorian\u2019 award, a proposal was submitted by Cojira-SP (Commission of Journalists for Racial Equality of S\u00e3o Paulo), which we endorse enthusiastically, to honor the journalist Luiz Gama, a prominent name in the anti-slavery movement in Brazil who wrote powerful and universal journalism and was attacked by the elites of his time, and who has never received proper recognition. We submit his name for your appreciation on the occasion of the 190th anniversary of his birth,\u201d said the union in a statement to the organizing committee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2009, the organizing committee has granted the Vladimir Herzog Special Award<\/strong> to public figures for their meaningful services to society, for their contributions to journalism and for their work in defense of democracy, peace and justice. In 2019, the award honored Glenn Greenwald, Patr\u00edcia Campos Mello and Herm\u00ednio Saccheta (in memoriam).<\/span><\/p>\n

Recipients<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Laerte<\/strong> is a cartoonist, illustrator, screenwriter, journalist and one of Brazil\u2019s leading line artists. The creator of emblematic characters such as Piratas do Tiet\u00ea (Pirates of the Tiet\u00ea River), Hugo Baracchini, Deus Segundo Laerte (God According to Laerte) and Overman, Laerte grew to fame for exploring relevant topics of human existence with a humor that is both scathing and refined. Together with other artists of her generation, such as Angeli and Glauco, she developed a new style in the production of comics and made a name for herself in Brazilian cartoon art. Laerte has worked as a screenwriter on several television programs and contributed to several publications such as \u201cBal\u00e3o\u201d and \u201cO Pasquim\u201d. She has also written for the magazines \u201cVeja\u201d, \u201cPiau\u00ed\u201d and \u201cIsto\u00c9\u201d, in addition to the newspaper \u201cO Estado de S. Paulo\u201d. Since 2014, she has published cartoons in the newspaper \u201cFolha de S. Paulo\u201d and is currently an activist for the LGBT movement. In 2020, she completes a 50-year-career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luiz Gama<\/strong> was a journalist, poet, lawyer and a tireless activist in the fight against the slave regime. Gama ought to stand among the best-known figures in Brazilian history as one of the greatest – if not the greatest – symbol of that time.\u00a0 An activist of the republican and abolitionist cause, he wrote for several newspapers denouncing violations of the law and errors made by judges and lawyers against blacks and slaves. He did not have a law degree, but instead a provision \u2013 a document that authorized the practice of law issued by the Judicial Branch of the Empire of Brazil \u2013 and he was a self-taught lawyer with great legal culture and he was responsible freeing dozens of slaves. In 2015, the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) bestowed the title of lawyer on Luiz Gama, recognizing his importance as a jurist. In 2018, he received, from the National Congress, the title \u201cPatron of the Abolition of Slavery in Brazil\u201d and finally had his name inscribed in the Book of National Heroes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sueli Carneiro<\/strong> is a philosopher, educator, writer, spokesperson for a generation and one of the country\u2019s leading references in race and gender studies. Her thinking teaches us how the experience of black Brazilian women and anti-racist feminism are fundamental to the struggles for democracy and human rights in Brazil.\u00a0 Her contribution to journalism and communication has been outstanding. She was a columnist for the newspaper Correio Braziliense for almost a decade and, in this period, she caused newsrooms across the country to address racial and feminist issues in a more humanized, pluralistic and libertarian way. She is also the founder of Geled\u00e9s – Black Woman\u2019s Institute, an organization that since 1988 has been committed to the defense of human rights from a racial and gender perspective and that has become a reference for content \u2013 including journalistic content \u2013 on the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n
