How did African-Americans get to Equatorial Guinea?

African-Americans primarily arrived in Equatorial Guinea during the 19th century through various means, including the transatlantic slave trade, which forcibly brought many Africans to the Americas. After the abolition of slavery, some African-Americans sought opportunities in Africa, including Equatorial Guinea, as part of broader movements to reconnect with their ancestral roots. Additionally, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some African-Americans emigrated to various parts of Africa, including Equatorial Guinea, seeking land and a fresh start. Today, the presence of African-Americans in Equatorial Guinea is also influenced by diplomatic and cultural exchanges.
