Joaquim Aurélio Barreto Nabuco de Araújo (1849-1910) was a Brazilian writer, statesman, and a leading voice in the abolitionist movement of his country. After returning to Brazil in 1878, Nabuco began his public fight against slavery through his political activity and in his writings. He campaigned against slavery in the Chamber of Deputies from 1878, and he founded the Brazilian Anti-Slavery Society.
