[edit] First person of recent African descent in Australia
He wasn't the first black man in Australia there were 17 on the first fleet including the notable John Randall (born a slave in conneticutt (i am dyslexic) fought on the British side of the American war of independance to gain his freedom then stole a steel watch chain so transported on the Alexander in the First Fleet gamekeeper to Govener Philip and first non-Aboringinal kill an emu, it was with a gun, he owned land in sydney - so did his descendants and to this day the area is called Dixieland- he was also a policeman and he was killed by a convict in Tasmania with an axe in the head). Look at 'Black Founders' by Cassandra Pybus. I am angry as we are not recognised. Sorry that last bit was irrelevent. I am going to edit the page.Squall1991 10:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I was not sure, that's why I said "probably the first black man" when I wrote this article. The Pybus book's been on my reading list for a while. Hesperides 02:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Madagascar
The 1st and 3rd links include a statement that he was born in Madagascar. Is there any reason then to say that he was probably born in the West Indies? -- roundhouse0 (talk) 14:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
