This article includes reflections from experiences in the Group of Afro-Brazilian Studies (Geab), linked to the Nucleus of Racial Inclusion (NIR) of the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC Minas). The group is a reference in the study and the production of scientific knowledge on the racial reality to aid the university in this subject. Thus, the study uses the qualitative documentary approach and is interdisciplinary and theoretical based. Analysis of the experiences of Geab concluded that this group corroborated significantly to the debate about ethnic-racial relations, especially on racism and racial quotas - effervescent themes in that context - and allowed several students to recognize and affirm their black identity plus obtain the understanding, theoretical foundation, and critical position on these issues.
