Amazing photo is amazing.
Here is 5 of the 7 Brazilian presidents from the New Republic Era.
(Right to Left)
Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995 -2002)
José Sarney (1985 -1990, first civillian to become president after 21 years)
Fernando Collor (1990-1992, resigned in a failed attempt to stop his trial of impeachment)
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003 -2010)
Dilma Roussef (2011 - , first woman to become president)
The other two are Tancredo Neves - he was the one to win the 1985 elections but on the eve of taking the oath he became severely ill. Sarney assumed office as acting president until Neves died on 21 April - and Itamar Franco (1992 - 1994), he died last year.
They look so old. It’s funny because it feels like they were in charge just yesterday.
Any of these people black or indigenous or mixed?
