This article, based on the studies of literacies as a social practice and ethnic-racial relations, aims to look at the black movement pointing out elements that characterize it as an agent of academic literacy. For a better understanding of this aspect, a field research was carried out with a group of black students from a Brazilian public university based on an ethnographic study as a theoretical-methodological approach. As a result, it was possible to infer that the agency of the academic black movement presents an affirmative aspect that fosters a gradual transformation of academic literacies, both through the persuit for effective belonging of black population in the university and through the insertion of their history, knowledge and trajectories.
