On this day, Feb. 6, 1820, the very first group of Black Americans returned to Africa. A group of nearly 90 brave men and women voyaged across the Atlantic on the Mayflower of Liberia (also known as The Elizabeth), a vessel that would leave from New York City to arrive in Sierra Leone just over a month later on March 9. #shopblack #blackhistorymonth#february#blackhistoryfacts#blackhistoryfactseries2017
