Abstract
This article discusses the life trajectory of Christiano Fettermann, a black man from the state of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil which lived between the second half of the 19th century and the year of 1930. In addition of being a militant in the workers' cause, he was a collaborator between the years 1908 and 1911 of O Exemplo Journal, an important media of the black press. In this sense, throughout his life Fettermann was involved with both causes, articulating them at several Porto Alegre associative spaces in which he played roles. Thus, I shall investigate and attempt to better understand the possibilities outlined by this individual who lived and acted in a very complex period, in which heightened tensions involving the definitions of race/color, growing-social expectations associated with the beginning of the Republic, as well as the struggles for citizenship that were updated in the context of Brazilian post-abolition have surfaced.
