Probably the first person of African heritage who came to this area was a member of a Spanish expedition. Esteban was originally from Morocco, and was a slave to a Spaniard. He first arrived in the New World in 1528 with a group sent to Florida to capture Hernan Cortes. See [http://parentseyes.arizona.edu/esteban/esteban.html Esteban, a 16th Century Explorer]. | |||
