Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of black population’s historical demand for social inclusion, as well as the commitment of school physical education classes with this demand. In the background, one perspective shows the exclusion of black people in the Brazilian society, resulting from the slavery regime and their struggle to change this scenery of social marginalization. Another perspective approaches the very historical and epistemological bases of school physical education in the country, which initially corroborated the social exclusion of black students (by rejecting the black body, promoting the European aesthetics and propagating hygienist and eugenic ideas), but after some time started to defend a critical perspective, committed with social inclusion and diversity. Thus, the concept of social inclusion is introduced and the demand of the black population for social inclusion is discussed considering the Law 10.639/2003 and highlighting the commitment of school physical education with this inclusion.
