We, the people of Minas Gerais, were wrong to call him "Aleijadinho". This is ableism today, at the time no one had any idea of it.

No, Aleijadinho, his name is
ANTONIO FRANCISCO LISBOA

We do not refer to Antônio Francisco Lisboa" by the infamous and derogatory nickname "Aleijadinho". We repudiate such a nickname as it is ableist and inappropriate to the memory of this brilliant artist. We even defend the need for historical reparation that repositions his birth name alongside the myth.
