In
1619, "20 and Odd" Blacks arrived in late August of 1619 aboard a
Dutch man of war. These blacks were sold/traded into servitude for
supplies. In 1770, Crispus Attucks, a black man, became the first casualty
of the American Revolution when he was shot and killed in what became known as
the Boston Massacre.
