One of Simón Bolivar’s most famous lieutenants, Pedro Camejo, is known in Venezuela’s history books as “El Negro Primero (The First Black),” because he was always the first to ride into battle. A statue of El Negro Primero today stands in the Plaza Carabobo in Caracas—the only statue commemorating a Black person in all Venezuela. Pedro Camejo’s picture also appears on Venezuelan’s currency
