We gladly present one more number of the ABPN's journal, in its eighth volume and nineteenth edition, composed of 9 papers of the Thematic Dossier Studies about Black People and Education, organized by Professors Julvan Moreira de Oliveira (UFJF) and Wilma de Nazaré Baía Coelho (UFPA). The dossier has emerged from the necessity to reflect about studies and research developed by associated researchers of the ANPED (Education and Ethnic Racial of the Postgraduation and Education Research National Association TG) (Thematic Group) 21, and, at the same time materializes the current management commitment with researchers of the GT 21 during a meeting in October 2015.  

This edition is also composed of 5 more papers in the free-paper section that discuss research reflection, results and practices about issues that specifically affect the black population.

We thank the organizers of the dossier, collaborators, peer reviewers, authors, translators, editors, secretary, Editorial Board, consultative board, direction and other team members and partners who enabled the publication of this new number, as well as every researcher. 

Our sincere thanks to all who contribute to the ABPN's journal!
