Africa (c 1619)

Angela was an enslaved laborer among the first Africans to arrive in the Virginia Colony in 1619. A 1625 document lists Angela as “Angelo” and as “a Negro woman” in the household of Captain William Pierce. She said she was grabbed and gagged. She was then marched some 100 miles to a pen in the Portuguese slave port of Luanda. Later, she was taken to a ship where she was chained to other captured Africans.
