This research has as object of study antiracracista educational practices. In this way, the objective was to analyze educational practices in school and non-school spaces; to apprehend the challenges that Law 10639/03, which amended the provisions of the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law No. 9,394 / 96 (LDBEN), establishing the compulsory teaching of African History and Afro-Brazilian culture for all elementary schools and medium of Brazil, later, modified by the law 11645/08 that broadens the same orientation regarding the indigenous to grasp the challenges this indicates the State and civil society by giving visibility to subjects such as antiracist education; to analyze the possibility of an antiracist education and of valorization of the history and cultures of the black populations, which precedes the federal legislation, but fits in those efforts - highlighting the discontinuities and uncertainties related to the implementation of projects and their positive effects; to identify how the Law has been implemented in school practice, as well as to discuss the role of the State in the construction of citizenship. From the theoretical contribution of Munanga, Gomes, Felice, we discussed the impasses between affirmative policies and the reality of Brazilian education in its social, cultural, historical, economic and pedagogical aspects. Field research was defined as methodology for the collection of empirical data in two public schools in Ituiutaba, with four teachers from the municipal and state spheres, and four militants from the Ituiutaba black movement using the semistructured interview as instrument. This research points to antiracist educational practices prior to federal legislation, implemented by teachers linked to the militancy of black movements, which in schools teachers individually seek each one in their own way to work with the content of the Law. the students' lack of knowledge of the importance of the History and Culture of the Blacks and of Africa end up generating attitudes of prejudice when the subject is approached in practice.
