This link will take you to a very interesting essay on a day that the NPS is commemorating as the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved African Americans to Point Comfort and then on to the Jamestown settlement. Good historical research has previously pointed out that the arrival was much earlier than the Jamestown one.
Our new education coordinator at Surratt House just shared this essay with me, and I am passing it on to you. It is long, but well-worth the read, and I guarantee that at least 90% of us never knew what it is telling us. https://aeon.co/essays/muslims-lived-in-america-before-protestantism-even-existed
