1841: Portuguese / Black Jews on the African Coast (jan 1, 1841 – jan 1, 1842)

Description:

"The Portuguese who planted them selves on the coast of Africa, a few centuries ago, have been succeeded by descendants blacker than the Africans."

"A stronger case still is to be found in the fact that the descendants of a colony of Jews originally from Judea to the coast of Africa, are black."
