Timeline

2020

He also wrote the novel O avesso da pele (The Flipside of Skin) (2020), which won the Prêmio Jabuti in the Literary Novel category of the following year, which follows the story of a young man whose father, a black school teacher, was killed by soldiers of the Military Police Brigade.

He received an honorable mention at the 19th Paulo Leminski Short Story Competition held by the Western Paraná State University; he won the 15th Poemas no Ônibus Contest and the 3rd Poemas no Trem Contest by the local government of Porto Alegre (Poems on the bus; Poems on the train). In 2020 he was the first black man elected as the patron of the Feira do Livro (Book fair) in Porto Alegre. In 2022, Tenório received the title of Citizen of Porto Alegre from the City of Porto Alegre. The author of the proposal, councilwoman Bruna Rodrigues, said “we want to make Jeferson a living legacy of the city such that black people can occupy space in society more and more”.

The author remains active in racial discussions and debates within Brazil. In one of his weekly publications for the online newspaper UOL, he commented on the killing of João Alberto Freitas, who died after being beaten in Porto Alegre on November 19, 2020. Tenório said: “Sometimes I think that we, black people, in the end, have a unique journey to fulfill: which is to forsake being black… No black person lives without the weight of reprisal because of their color”. The author also commented in his column about the difficulties of educating his son about racism in Brazil. When asked by his son about João Freitas’ case, as they were eating lunch, Tenório  said “I didn’t know what to say… I didn’t know how to tell him.” The author said to his son “sometimes, the world doesn’t like black people”.
