'Andrew Wiese powerfully challenges the myth that American suburbs have always been white refuges. His impressive analysis of the black struggle to achieve the suburban dream complicates in important ways our understanding of how race and class shaped the metropolitan landscape of twentieth-century America.'—Lizabeth Cohen, Harvard University
'The United States may be the world's first suburban nation, but the dream of home ownership has never been limited by race or class. In this elegant and persuasively argued book, Wiese shows how African Americans in both the North and the South found the strength to overcome the obstacles that blocked their path to the crabgrass frontier.'—Kenneth T. Jackson, Columbia University Fort dodge hook up website.
'This is one of those rare books that fundamentally transforms the way we think about a major topic. By putting the black experience directly at the core of twentieth-century suburbanization, Wiese revises both African American history and the history of the American suburb.'—Robert Fishman, University of Michigan
The first Africans in Virginia were a group of '20 and odd' captives originally from the Kingdom of Ndongo in modern Angola, who arrived in 1619 in the colony of Virginia. They had been part of a larger group heading to Mexico, and were taken after an attack on their Portuguese slave ship by English privateers. Their arrival is seen as a beginning of the history of slavery in Virginia and also as a starting point for African-American history, given that they were the first such group in mainland British America.[1] The 400th anniversary of their arrival was marked by The 1619 Project of The New York Times, the Year of Return in Ghana, and other commemorations.
From Angola to Mexico[edit]
During the Atlantic slave trade era, starting in the 15th century, Portugese slave traders brought large numbers of African slaves across the Atlantic to work in their New World Colonies such as Brazil. An estimated 4.9 million slaves from Africa were brought to Brazil during the period from 1501 to 1866.[2] Thousands of people were captured by Portuguese slave traders and their local allies such as the Imbangala in invasions of the Kingdom of Ndongo (or 'Angola') under Governor Luís Mendes de Vasconcellos. These were taken to port and often sent to other parts of the Spanish and Portuguese empires, which were brought together in that time by the Iberian Union.[1] Those taken captive from Angola may have belonged to the Ambundu ethnic group, an interpretation used at the Jamestown Settlement Galleries.

In 1619, the Portugese fluytSan Juan Bautista took a large group through the Middle Passage from Luanda in Angola to the bay of Veracruz in Mexico. Of the 350 total on the slave ship, about 143 died in the voyage, and 24 children were sold during a stop at the Colony of Santiago in Jamaica, with 123 enslaved people eventually being taken to Veracruz, in addition to the smaller group of 20-30 taken by the English.[1]
From Mexico to Virginia[edit]
Near Veracruz in the Bay of Campeche, the English privateers White Lion and Treasurer operating under a Dutch letter of marque, sponsored by Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, attacked the San Juan Bautista, and took 20-30 of the enslaved Africans to Old Point Comfort on Hampton Roads at the tip of the Virginia Peninsula, the first time such a group was brought to mainland British America.[1] English privateers had been sailing under Dutch flags since the 1604 Treaty of London concluded the Anglo-Spanish War.
The primary source document for their arrival is as follows:[3]
About the latter end of August, a Dutch man of Warr of the burden of a 160 tunes arriued at Point-Comfort, the Comandor name Capt Jope, his Pilott for the West Indies one Mr Marmaduke an Englishman.

Artworks[edit]
Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller included a diorama of the 1619 arrival as part of her commission for the 1907 Jamestown Exposition, the first such granted to an African-American woman artist from the U.S. government. This work is no longer extant.
The 1940 American Negro Exposition included a historical diorama with a similar theme, and was restored in the 21st century.[4][5] It is part of the collection of the Legacy Museum of Tuskegee University.
Sidney E. King painted a historical scene of the 1619 arrival for the National Park Service in the 1950s.[6]
Commemoration[edit]
The 350th anniversary of the arrival was marked in 1969 by a Virginia effort organized by civil rights attorney Oliver Hill, and with featured speaker Samuel DeWitt Proctor; it was however opposed by others including then-freshman state senator and future-Governor Douglas Wilder as an occasion inappropriate for celebration. There was also a commemoration of the 375th anniversary in 1994.[7]
