Abstract
The motivating reasons for this study start from a chronic problem of the past and always present entrenched in Brazilian society: the non-recognition due to the Afro-Brazilian culture and its protagonists. In this sense, the main purpose of this writing is to demonstrate the contribution of a lay teacher to culture and education in a quilombola community. To do so, the construction of this article used as methodological procedures the qualitative approach and the inductive method, through techniques of direct observation, interviews and analyzes of narratives collected through oral history. This article brings to light the cultural and educational contribution of a lay teacher, black, quilombola, from a humble family from the interior of Ceará. The material and immaterial legacy of Professor Maria José Alves da Silva is unquestionably present in the collective memory of the community in which she was born, lived and died. Finally, the narratives of relatives, contemporaries and former students of the teacher in allusion attest their educational practices and ethno-cultural identification in an uncontested and consolidated way in the community of Alto Alegre, in the municipality of Horizonte, state of Ceará, Brazil.
