The girls from NEJA chose to write a poem about an old housing complex in Costa Barros, the Nera. Check it out!
Image description: This is a photograph of two people posing next to a large panel with images printed on it. The person on the left is holding up the panel with their right hand, while the person on the right is smiling and looking at the camera. The panel has two main images: one on the left, in black and white, and another on the right, in color, showing a house with a red roof and blue windows, surrounded by green trees. Both people are wearing white t-shirts and jeans.Integrantes do grupo no dia da apresentação
Today we come to tell the story of this place where many had only that spot to call home Known as Nera, with shacks made of wood built by those who had nothing to their name.
Besides the humility that was also there children playing with such joy When everything seemed fine cowardice arrived like a nobody
Innocence was taken from a child a story that stayed in our memories it left great commotion marking an entire generation
The neighborhood went through a change bringing hope to its people Trade and prosperity arrived for those who stayed there
Today the shacks are just a memory of a time left behind in history the landscape may have changed but Nera has its legacy
