Over 500,000 Brazilians attend the March of the Family with God for Liberty, in protest against the government of João Goulart and against communism.
March of the Family with God for Liberty
The March of the Family with God for Liberty was the common name for a series of public demonstrations that took place between March 19 and June 8, 1964 in Brazil in response to what was considered, by the military and conservative sectors of society, a communist threat posed by the actions of radical groups and by the speech at a rally given by then-president João Goulart on March 13 of that same year.
João Goulart
João Belchior Marques Goulart, commonly known as Jango, was a Brazilian politician who served as the president of Brazil from 1961 until a military coup d'état deposed him in 1964. He was considered the last left-wing president of Brazil until Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took office in 2003.
