The initial Africans first set foot in the continent of America during or round about the age of the Egyptian Dynasties (btw 3100-2100 BC). According to recent study, it was deduced that they embarked on commerce voyages to and fro the continent supplying the channels with salt and precious metals. It is suggested that there was a great connection with the "Olmec" civilisation of Mexico.

The most recent migration was forced upon them during the hollocausts of the 16-18th Century which became known as the slave trade. African people were sold into slavery and transported by way of force into American South in 1619, by the European traders. Hundreds were cramped into the large ships, and endured hideous conditions.
