The present work aims to analyze the denunciations of contemporary slavery in the newspaper "Correio Braziliense" from 1969 to 1974, during the Medici government. Through this research, we seek to demonstrate how slavery continued to occur even after almost a century of abolition. In this context, regional and social vulnerabilities contributed to making certain portions of the population more susceptible to enticement and consequent exploitation. To support the analysis, we used the perspective of the History of the Present Time insofar as both the 1964 dictatorship and contemporary slavery are historical events of the past that persist in the collective memory, politics, economy and social relations of our country. country. In addition, we seek to understand the position of the newspaper studied in a scenario of censorship and repression, in which such denunciations could harm the positive image that had been built on the economic and social policy of the Military Government.
