[L Verge]

Everyone should read this article from 2017 in the Smithsonian magazine. It gives a more accurate picture of who brought the first slaves to the New World. I learned this in the 1960s, but our current historical "guidelines" seem to have forgotten the real beginnings.

If you want to read a more upsetting history focused on what 400 years hath wrought, I can send you a very lengthy rendition published recently in the New York Times.
