It's Time to Face
the Whole Truth
about
Slavery In America
"Failure
to educate all Americans
about the whole story
of Slavery
has divided our nation
and undermined our
civic unity
and belief in the
historical legitimacy
of our
democratic institutions."*
*To paraphrase Sheldon M. Stern,
an Educator who designed the first
Civil Rights Exhibit at the
John F. Kennedy
Library and Museum in 1977.

Did you know
that the First Official
Slave Owner
in America was Black*?
In 1651, Anthony Johnson owned
250 acres, and the services of four white
and one black indentured servants.

Did you know
that Africans that came
to America would have likely been killed had they
remained in Africa?
Over 20 million Africans were captured by other
Africans to sell into slavery. Of that number,
over 10 million died on their way to be sold
on the African shore. Those not sold
were kill by their African captors.

​Did you know
Africans became rich
selling other Africans

into slavery
and controlled the
African slave trade?
..."Slavery was not completely 
foreign
to Africa because the 
institution already existed
prior to 
the arrival of Europeans. 
Ultimately, it
does not seem 
possible that the Transatlantic 

Slave Trade would have existed 
on such
a large scale without 
the complicity of the
powerful 
African Nations that dominated 

the African interior and benefited 

from the Trade.

Did You Know Many
'White’ People Had Been
Struggling To End Slavery
Since Colonial Times?
There was never a time
in the history of America
when slavery was acceptable
to most ‘White’ Americans.
The effort to abolish slavery
began in 1619 when slavery
was initiated in the American
Colonies at Jamestown, Virginia

Did you know that a large percentage of Blacks*
Owned Slaves?
"...the percentage of free black slave owners
as the total number of free black heads of
families was quite high in several states,
namely 43 percent in South Carolina, 40
percent in Louisiana, 26 percent in
Mississippi, 25 percent in Alabama
and 20 percent in Georgia.

Did you know

that White* People also
suffered from Slavery?
“Who wants to be reminded that half — perhaps as many as two-thirds —
of the original American colonists
came here, not of their own free will,
but kidnapped, shanghaied,
impressed, duped, beguiled,
and yes, in chains? …we tend to
gloss over it… we’d prefer to forget
the whole sorry chapter.”

published by the Los Angeles Times
on September 1, 1985
