The beginning of their emergence was through a memory of heroism that carne to be produced in 1962, the press Paraíba, shortly after his assassination when he was deputy - leader of the Peasant League of Sapé in Paraíba. Their manufacture and peasant hero also extends beyond the March 1962, causing the image of heroism built for Teixeira, and continues to be driven reupdated in the 80s, being a sign of memory for the
Peasant Leagues. Thus, he continues to have his body colonized by various discursive machineries such as media reports, books and articles as well as a memorial that was written at the end of last century and also a biography that is written to his widow where Teixeira reappears through their memories constituted as a space of longing for his widow Elizabeth Teixeira.
