📅 16 Sèptèmber 1795 📍

A governor’s journal reports that Thico, an enslaved man held by the state and assigned to the Aruba commander, said he would serve no longer and that he was free. The commander sent him in chains to Curaçao. The official account frames his refusal as disorder; read against that language, it preserves a direct act of self-assertion.
