The article deals with the charitable care and assistence carried out by the Spanish physician Pedro López (1582-1597) with the non-white population in Mexico City. After a biographical sketch of López, the juridical and social situation of blacks and mulattos in Mexico City in the second half of the 16th century is presented. Then two of López’s initiatives on behalf of the blacks are described: the founding of the hospital of the Desamparados (1582), and the request to the Third Council of Mexico (1585) for permission to create a confraternity of black men and women in the capital of New Spain.
