Afro-Bahamians or Bahamians of African descent are Bahamians whose ancestry lies within the continent of Africa, most notably West Africa. The first Africans to arrive to The Bahamas came from Bermuda with the Eleutheran Adventurers as freed slaves looking for a new life. Currently, Afro-Bahamians are the most prevalent ethnic group in the Bahamas, as they account for 85% of the country's population. They have now been able to achieve a much higher standard of living than previous generations. |
