American's First Slave Owner

 So what can a sterling silver necklace  buy you these days? Lots. But what is more valuable. Knowledge.

Did you know that a many by the name of Anthony Johnson was America's first slave holder. Did you also know that he was black. He came to America like many people an indutured sevent, which is one step above a slave. He gained freedom and was ruled to be the owner of another person. A slave owner in VA became what is known as the first in the US.

Of course this does not fit with the PC crowd. And for the record he was not the last.
