Paulo Freire was born 1921, 19 September in Recife, Brazil. I found on the internet that Freire often in his writings would describe his parents like this:
”Joaquim Temistocles Freire from Rio Grande de Norte, an officer of the Pernambuco military police, a spiritist, although not a member of any religious circles, good, intelligent, capable of loving: my father. Edeltrudis Neves Freire of Pernambuco, catholic, sweet, good, just: my mother.”(NODEP, Fundamentos revolucionarios de pedagogia popular, p.5)
1934 Paulo Freire’s father died when Paulo only was thirteen years old. Freire continued on with his life, he went to school and while still in high school Freire became a grammar teacher, were he also found his wife Elza Maia Costa de Oliviera. The couple worked together and I reed somewhere that they got five kids. In 1986 his wife Elza died and he got remarried to Ana Maria Araujo. The good old Freire died of heart failure 1997, 2 May at the age of 75.
