In the spirit of the righteous tribute paid to educator Paulo Freire, on account of the hundredth anniversary of his birth, this essay seeks to emphasize certain peculiarities of his revolutionary popular educational thought while striving to produce a connection of such thought with the challenges posed by the current Brazilian historical moment. Therefore, it uses the records of an experience in the process of which the work Cartas a Guiné-Bissau (1977) is constituted. In the reflective itinerary, it was attempted to highlight: the romantic-revolutionary character of freirian thought; the theoretical-methodological role of the articulation between social practice and education and, derived from this, a sophisticated educational conception that becomes revolutionary, precisely because it goes deeper into the concrete reality, understood as a process that carries trends to be developed towards the overcoming of a society divided into classes. Such theoretical conclusions, however, are not seen in the essay as they are closed in themselves, but it extracts their meaning and coherence about the thematized work, as they can function as a remembrance act, in which the struggles of the past can be connected explosively with the struggles of the present.
