I am not sure what you mean by a "special interest group." There have been various groups, both political and non-political, that have advocated for African-Americans. There was a black newspaper as far back as 1827-- Freedom's Journal-- which advocated for better treatment for black people. During the slavery era, a group known as the Abolitionists (some of whom were black, some of whom were white) fought very hard to secure equal rights for black people. There were also civil rights groups such as the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)-- it was founded back in 1909.
The First Americans were Native Americans, Iroquois and Algonquian.

African-Americans are first-class citizens just like anyone else who was either born in the United States or who are naturalized citizens.
I think that African-Americans were brought over on boats and were captured by the Europeans.
