Summary:If you have taken any interest in the history of the first African-Americans in the United States, you are probably of the opinion that the first 20 Africans to land on its shores represented different regions of Africa. However, recently discovered historical documents suggest that the true origin of the first African Americans is Angola. What has the African-American imprint on America been since this event? Tonights guests are Dr. Tom Davidson, who is senior curator of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, and Ms. Liz Montgomery, who is a Supervisor of Visitor Services at Jamestown Settlement and Treasurer of the Virginia African American Forum.
