Barack Obama's historic 2008 presidential victory was undoubtedly a major turning point in the struggle for equal rights and the advancement of African Americans in America. A recent research project conducted by Ancestry.com make Obama's achievements feel even more special, as they've found evidence to show he is related to America's first documented African slave.
"We have two of the most significant Africans in our country's history being directly related to each other," gushed Joseph Shumway, an Ancestry.com genealogist. The lineage is drawn surprisingly through Barack's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, to John punch, an indentured servant who was officially enslaved when he tried to flee revolutionary Virginia.
