The first black captain was Humozac, but im not sure who the first one to capturre and sell a slave was... sorry :S
Robert Smalls was a slave who commandeered a Confederate ship and made his way to freedom. He then went into service with the Union army.
Sir John Hawkins had the dubious distinction of becoming the first slave-ship captain to bring Africans to the Americas. His ship was called "the good ship Jesus".
The slaves would be thrown into the deck of the ship where there would have been no space, light or dryness because there were so many of them. Many slaves died as a result of this and because of deadly diseases being passed from slave to slave. Stories tell of how one captain of a slave ship, hung up a female black slave by her foot and then whipped her because she refused to dance naked on the deck of his ship - an invasion of privacy.
The name of the first slave will never be known. Most people don't know that before the explorers visited Africa and took slaves, Black Africans did in fact own slaves that were also black.
