Laid in one of the scripts is a typed note identifying Martin as the subject of the script and noting the date of his canonization. Although the scripts appear to have been written at diffe…rent times, and there are significant differences between them, there are also enough textual similarities to confidently suggest they were both written by Raymond Ferrante, despite the early script containing no credits. The titular character was born to a Spanish father and a woman of African and Native American Heritage, He is the patron saint of mixed-race peoples, and those seeking racial harmony, as well as barbers, innkeepers, and public health workers.
