Abstract
These short editorial lines opening this issue of Revista Katalyses, entitled: Violence, Health, and Social Classes, recap the murder of Joao Alberto, a 40-year-old black man, who “was beaten and killed by two security guards at a unit of the Carrefour supermarket chain, in Porto Alegre” (CARTA CAPITAL, 2020). The homicide was carried out by two suspects, one of whom was a military policeman and the other a security guard at the store. Such savagery occurred on the eve of the Brazilian Black Awareness Day, November 20, and it was not veiled violence. The unfortunate event was filmed by onlookers and shared on social media, later going viral.
