This article focuses on the discussion about the production of silencing about the presence of the black population in the narratives of memory and history of cities. The aspects analyzed here indicate that the mechanisms that govern this production are an expression of the structural and institutionalized character of racism as a founding element of the power relations that shape Brazilian society. Taking Belo Horizonte-MG as a starting point for analysis, I assess the plausibility of a subliminally triggered argument to justify the neglect of the theme in the historiography produced about the capital of Minas Gerais, namely that of a supposed absence of sources that attest to the existence and characterization of the black population in the city. To do so, I approach a research experience that reveals the potential and the role of archival and museum institutions in perpetuating or overcoming the production of lacuna narratives about the agency of black people in the dynamics of constituting urban experience
