The Valiant Black Man in Flanders / El valiente negro en Flandes - by Andres de Claramonte

A play about Black pride and defiance of systemic racism. Juan de Mérida, an Afro-Spanish soldier, aspires to social advancement through his military prowess in the Netherlands during the Sixteenth century. Rather than the Dutch rebels, his enemies are his white countrymen, who try to humiliate him and fail.
