President Hector Bienvenido Trujillo Molina, also known as Negro (center), his brother Generalisimo Rafael L. Trujillo Molina (right), are shown here with a Vatican official during a 1957 New Year’s celebration for the diplomatic corps. Hector Trujillo was a key figure during his brother’s reign. He served as a figurehead president from August 16, 1952 to August 3, 1960. It is safe to assume that Negro was one of Trujillo’s closest and most trusted men.
