Francisco appears as Caracas’s Black public crier

Caracas cabildo minutes identify Francisco, a Black man, as a public town crier. This official role makes visible a Black worker whose labor served public communication, even as the archive’s racial label and sparse entry leave his own account and legal status unclear. A later mention may refer to the same person, but the published study flags that identification as an assumption.
