Who Was the First African American Part 2 (featuring Brandon Victor Dixon and Angelica Ross)
Last week, Conquistador Juan Garrido helped Michael establish that Africans arrived in America as early as the 1500’s. But who was the first African American? This week we meet explorer Esteban The Moor (aka Black Steve), and a representative for The Collective of enslaved Africans who arrived and resisted.
