Yep and people think black slaves were a British/American thing. The Arab Muslims in the Middle East were buying black slaves from Africa 1000 years before the the West even discovered Africa and continued long after the slave trade was stopped in the West. But that's a whole another story!
"Soon after North Africa was occupied by Arab Muslim armies in the late 7th century, black Africans were traded over the Sahara, and bought by Arab merchants as slaves - a practice which continued down to the early 20th century."
