Yes, but the Moors were black, Muslim and not slaves.

In 711 a Berber Muslim army, under their leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from northern Africa into the Iberian peninsula. Roderick, last of the Visigothic kings of Spain, was defeated at the Battle of Río Barbate. By 719 the invading forces were supreme from the coast to the Pyrenees. Their progress north was arrested at a battle fought in France, between Tours and Poitiers, in 732 by the Frankish ruler Charles Martel.

The Moors were North Africans, basically Berbers, like today's Moroccans, and were not Sub-Saharan Africans. They're two different groups. American blacks are descendants of Sub-Saharan Africans, who were and still are the victims of Arab and North African Muslims.
