Shocking: The first slave-owner in America was a Black Man

THIS IS REALLY NOT A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF US WHO KNOW HISTORY.  AFTER ALL THE FIRST BLACKS BROUGHT TO THIS COUNTRY CAME IN, NOT AS SLAVES, BUT AS LONG TERM INDENTURED SERVANTS.  SERVANTS WHICH AFTER A TIME WERE GRANTED THEIR FREEDOM.  WHAT WAS SURPRISING TO ME WAS THAT IT WAS A BLACK OWNER WHO FIRST CHALLENGED THE LAW, THAT WOULD RELEASE THEM FROM SERVITUDE AFTER THAT DEFINED PERIOD.  IMAGE BY POLITIFAKE
