Descendant
History lives beyond the written record. For years, the Africatown people of Mobile, Alabama have recounted their ancestry. Their village was created by ancestors who were transported in 1860 aboard Clotilda, the final known and illegal slave ship. The ship was deliberately destroyed upon arrival, yet its memory and legacy remained. Now, the long-awaited discovery of the Clotilda's bones provides this people with a concrete connection to their ancestors and confirmation of a past that so many attempted to hide.
