Clotilda

Africatown is the home of the descendants of the resilient founders who found themselves ripped from their lives in Africa back in 1860.

They were captured, shackled, smuggled aboard the Clotilda and brought into the Mobile Bay in Alabama.

Now, we'll be going down there to visit tomorrow.

So it's too late for you to join me on this sojourn.

... not exemplars of the kind of thing that's going on.

So we got f- uh, descendants of, say, the Clotilda, the last slave ship.

If you don't know about it, look it up.

These folks have known who they were for generations.

And so we're helping to make that, that story part of the, the big picture.

Now, it's actually interesting.

So I don't know how or why I knew about Clotilda, the last slave ship.

Mm.
