%X this paper aims to understand the meanings of a soccer match, between players who self-declared themselves as black or white, occurred in s£¿o paulo on may 13th, the date commemorating the end of slavery: the game "black x white". for this, we focused on journalistic material published by leading newspapers of s£¿o paulo from may 10th to 15th, during 1927 and 1939, when the games were held. additionally, a visit to the museum of the paulista football federation provided the information necessary to understand the trajectory of these games. we concluded that the idealization of a game like this on "may 13th" would have the purpose not only to prevent forgetfulness and to keep alive the memory of slavery, but also to strengthen the image of a country taken as a model to be followed, with respect to the ethnic-racial subject.
