Less than a year ago, the streets of Rio de Janeiro were filled with people friends and strangers alike reveling maskless within a six-foot radius for Carnival, the city s annual celebration of colorful costumes and extravagance. Little did they know at the time, but the late February event would be one of the last semblances of any crowd-inducing tradition held anywhere on the globe. And on Feb. 26, 2020, the last day of Carnival, Brazil confirmed its first case of COVID-19.
As the deadly impact of the worldwide pandemic stretched throughout 2020, officials announced in September that the annual February event would be pushed back to July 2021, delaying the celebration for the first time in a century. But last Thursday, Rio s mayor made an even more historic announcement Carnival would be canceled for 2021.

Brazil is undergoing a strange racial reckoning after bombshell revelations that thousands of veteran politicians had changed their self-identified race between the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Afro Brazilians a category that includes Black and mixed-race people comprise 56% of Brazil’s population but 43% of elected officials. So when almost 29,000 Afro Brazilian city council and mayoral candidates took office on Jan. 1 after winning their races last November, communities of color celebrated their growing political representation.
But Brazilian politics may not be as diverse as official statistics suggest.
More than 42,000 veteran politicians who ran for office in 2020 had changed their self-declared race since their last campaign, potentially to gain access to new campaign financing earmarked for Black candidates.
