Zumbi dos Palmares
Zumbi dos Palmares was a symbol of the black force, and hero of the conquest of Quilombo dos Palmares. Zumbi was a Brazilian slave who was taken to Portugal by a missionary. Zumbi, who was born in the city of Palmares, in Alagoas, fled Europe and returned to Brazil, thus becoming a leader against the Portuguese.
Zumbi became a legend in the Northeast, but ended up being killed by the Portuguese, who cut off his head and placed it as an exhibition in a public square, demonstrating that Zumbi was not an immortal being.
