Last Thursday, Brazil's President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (aka. Lula), announced that he was favourable to the making of November 20 as a nationwide public holiday in Brazil.
President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was reacting to the recent introduction of a bill on the subject (21-Nov-2008). His main argument is that 350 cities, including Brazil's major ones, are already observing the November 20 Dia Nacional da Consciência Negra as a public holiday.
