BETINHO
Herbert José de Souza (Betinho) is a symbol to Brazil and to the
world. Symbol of solidarity and of fight for equality of
rights. During the 62 years of his life, he left his mark in the struggle for the democratization of
information, creating the “Ibase” (Brazilian Institute for Economic and Social
Analysis); for a better control of blood banks and for the end of
discrimination, creating the “ABIA” (Brazilian Association for
Aids); for the ethics in politics, working for the Impeachment of the
ex-President Collor.
But the work that gained world distinction was the creation of the Citizenship Action
Committee, known as the Campaign against Hunger, that united the whole country in a way never seen
before.
After Betinho, Brazilians began to practice their most solidarity
aspects.
For this and for all his struggles, he deserves the best honors from all of us. |
