Paraic O'Brien reports. | Channel 4 News | Facebook

In 1415, Portugal invaded Ceuta on the coast of Morocco. The people who defended the city were Black Moors — African Moroccans with deep ties to the Maghreb and the Sahel. Portuguese chroniclers themselves recorded the capture and enslavement of these Moors and their forced transport across the sea. This moment became one of the earliest links in the developing Atlantic slave trade, decades before the first ships crossed to the Americas. This history was not erased — it was buried.

The Portuguese began their efforts to depopulate and control several coastal cities in Morocco starting in 1415, following their military conquest of the Moroccan city of Ceuta in which they took captives. These events marked the beginning of the decline of the Marinid dynasty and the start of the Portuguese Empire. #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryfacts #blackhistoryeveryday #blackhistorymatters #blackhistoryfacts #moors #moorishhistory #moorish #historybuff #histo
