As of the 2010 U.S. Census, African Americans were 16.6% of the population of Florida.[4] The African-American presence in the peninsula extends as far back as the early 18th century, when African-American slaves escaped from slavery in Georgia into the swamps of the peninsula. Black slaves were brought to Florida by Spanish conquistadors.[5][6]
