Original Note:
Although Anthony Johnson was a slave owner, he wasn’t the first slave owner in the USA. For example documents show that Hugh Gwyn, a white man, owned slaves before Anthony Johnson. Furthermore the man depicted in the drawing is not Anthony Johnson but Lewis Hayden. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-slavery-photo/fact-check-photos-of-anti-slavery-activist-lewis-hayden-falsely-labeled-as-first-slave-owner-idUSL1N2M21FG https://www.aaihs.org/the-curious-history-of-anthony-johnson-from-captive-african-to-right-wing-talking-point/
