It is incredible that over 150 years after its final abolition, slavery continues to impact race relations in America. No one currently alive in America was ever a slave in the United States. The closest connection that can be made is that there are probably some very elderly persons who, as young children, might have a met a former slave who had lived a very long life.
The point isn’t to speculate on such matters, but to emphasize that no one alive today was directly impacted by the practice of slavery in America. Racially discriminatory practices, yes. Slavery, no.
We cannot change the past. But, we can look at history, try to learn something, and resolve to do much better. Part of that involves challenging prevailing ideas that might not be accurate.

Yes
There have always been Africans in this country as we’re Irish English Germans Dutch . He was a freed slave and then became a slaveowner, learn your history !!!

A F**E PICTURE AND F**E STORY
If you think the man in the drawing is Johnson then you need to go back to grammar school. The man is wearing an outfit from the 1800’s.
****DEBUNKED****
Below is a meme and photograph of the man to be the infamous Anthony Johnson the very first slave owner in the US.
However, the man in the meme is really Abolitionist Lewis Hayden.
On the right is a photograph of the man many claimed to be Johnson. However, there’s a major problem with this photograph. Anthony Johnson was born in 1600, according to the University of Texas, the very 1st photograph was created in 1827. If this photograph is really Johnson then it means Johnson was no younger than 227 yrs old when he took the photograph on the right.
I want you to now google the following: ANTHONY JOHNSON COLONIST and LEWIS HAYDEN. You will see a VERY STRANGE anomaly; both men are identified under 1 PICTURE.
And from Berkeley, thats a kicker
All just more of their slanderous b******t.
DemocRATS or the Media will not believe this
This is in the history books, and they would love to change this, but it is true.
