Juan Garrido was a Spanish conquistador of African descent who is believed to be the first person of African heritage to arrive in what is now the continental United States. He is known for his role in various expeditions in the early 16th century, including participating in the expedition led by Juan Ponce de León to Florida in 1513. Garrido's presence serves as a reminder of the diverse backgrounds of individuals involved in the early exploration and colonization of the Americas.
