Madame C.J. Walker is generally agreed to have been the first female African American millionaire.
John Harold Johnson founded Ebony Magazine in 1945, I've included a link to his 2005 obituary
Sources disagree, but generally it's agreed that Africans were first enslaved in the colonies as early as 1619.
This was known as the Underground Railroad. Check the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center's webpage for more information.
