This study analyzes how the teaching of history at Escola Professor Luiz Alberto de Melo contributes to the understanding and formation of black identity in the quilombola community of Pau D'Arco, in Arapiraca. The research analyzes the Project building the Afro-descendant identity, between the years 2005-2021, an event that is part of the school calendar. The event is the culmination of a year of teaching and learning in which students organize exhibitions and presentations. This work raises the following question: how has the teaching practice in history contributed to the formation of the subject from the perspective of being black and remnant of a quilombola? The teaching of history is seen as an important tool for understanding ethnic and racial identity, since the teaching practice addressing themes about Afro-Brazilian culture, Eurocentric themes with an approach to the history of struggles and black resistance, can lead black students to understand their place in this history. The analysis about the practice of teaching history at school is part of this work that used the methodology of research in oral history through reports, interviews and forms. This research goes through the paths of settlement, demonstrating how the school can be a transforming environment in the perspective of promoting actions that go beyond the classroom and reach the members, through the practice of teaching using critical methodologies for the subject to understand himself as part of a collective of quilombo remnants called Pau D'Arco.
