Avellar was the first signatory of a letter sent in April 1889 to Rui Barbosa, then a republican journalist. He signed the letter with the Paty de Alferes Freedpeople Commission, which tried to enlist the prestige of political leaders to offer education to the children of freedpeople. The group explained in writing that “in order to escape the great danger to which we are exposed due to lack of education, we have come to ask for [education] for our children and so that they do not raise a murderous hand to slaughter those who want the Republic, which is freedom, equality and fraternity.”
