The medal will now be named after Luiz Gama, who was a leader of the movement to abolish slavery in Brazil in the 19th Century.
When slavery was finally abolished in 1888, Brazil was a monarchy ruled by the Braganca family of Portuguese origin, but the monarch was ill, so his daughter Isabel signed the abolition decree. Bolsonaro established the Princess Isabel Order of Merit just days before he left office last year, naming it after a figure that Brazilian conservatives traditionally praise for ending slavery.
The government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva established a human rights ministry as soon as it took office in January and has now created the prize named after Gama. "It is not that a white person cannot be part of the anti-racist struggle, but about recognizing an abolitionist Black man as a defender of human rights," deputy minister Rita Oliveira said in a statement.

Lulla's government is the most corrupt in Brazil's history. their motto is divide and conquer!
please correct this news: Lula simply renamed something created by Bolsonaro. Lula's arguments: 'use a name of imperial white woman can send wrong message', but Princess Isabel as an abolitionist signed the Golden Law ending slavery in the country.
