Confirmed: Wreck of last slave ship from Africa located off Alabama coast

[Everythingg]

"We are cautious about placing names on shipwrecks that no longer bear a name or something like a bell with the ship's name on it," maritime archaeologist James Delgado said in a statement. "But the physical and forensic evidence powerfully suggests that this is Clotilda."

He pretty much says that they dont have physical evidence that this is the ship, but that they do have physical (and "forensic") evidence that its the ship...

There were more black indigenous "indians" shipped out of America than there were Africans brought in. They needa start telling us about that instead of trying to drill the narrative that every so called black person is African...

I'd like to know how the ship got wrecked.

Foster anchored Clotilda on July 9 off Point of Pines in Grand Bay, Mississippi, near the Alabama border. He traveled overland by horse and buggy to Mobile to meet with Meaher. Fearful of criminal charges, Captain Foster brought the schooner into the Port of Mobile at night and had it towed up the Spanish River to the Alabama River at Twelve Mile Island. He transferred the slaves to a river steamboat, then burned Clotilda "to the water's edge" before sinking it.[9] He paid off the crew and told them to return North.[9]

I would love to know the genetic ancestry of these people. I think some of them could be 100% SSA/Black genetically.

I'm pretty sure they are. As their ancestors came in 1860. The CW started three years later and Emancipation a few years after that.

Most ADOS have non-African DNA due to what happened during our ancestors enslavement -- and most of our ancestors have been here since the late 1600's-early 1700's.

Also, those who were on the Clotilda -- their enslavers chose their mates for them -- and most were others who were on the ship.

I know there has been quite a few ADOS/Afram that have come back as 100% SSA/Black via DNA testing. Many of them had Gullah roots.

Definitely.

But, I think it's plenty in Alabama -- especially places like Mobile and Montgomery. My fathers side -- his mom and dad's side - I am pretty sure they are all 100%SSA - if not - upper 90%'s.

Now, my moms - still from Alabama -- No. But, we know why and it wasn't by choice.

It’s funny cuz I’ve met quite a few Black divers that specialize in this kinda work. The surface has barely been scratched too.

You’d be surprised the type of things our people are doing outside the white man’s noxious cloud of divisiveness and hopeless cynicism that most of us are addicted to.

Key Africatown governing board releases inaugural list of members
Oct. 07, 2021

State Rep. Adline Clarke, D-Mobile, speaks during the Thursday, June 17, 2021, announcement about the purchase of a former credit union in the the Africatown community that will serve as a food pantry and as the home office for the newly-established Africatown Redevelopment Corp. The city purchased the credit union building from the descendants of Timothy Meaher, who owned the Clotilda. The vessel was the last ship to bring captured Africans to the United States to be sold into enslavement in 1860. (John Sharp/jsharp@al.com).


A nine-member board of directors that will assist in guiding the revitalization efforts of the Africatown community north of Mobile will meet for the first time Thursday.

The names of the members were revealed late Tuesday by state Rep. Adline Clarke, D-Mobile, who sponsored legislation during the spring session to form the Africatown Redevelopment Corporation. The legislation, signed into law in April by Gov. Kay Ivey, was developed to form a board of directors whose aim will include revitalizing efforts in a community with a heritage that is linked to the 110 African natives enslaved aboard the Clotilda.

A part of the slave ship was discovered in 2019, kickstarting an effort to generate tourism and economic development in an area surrounded by industrial development that has, for decades, battled poverty and blight.

The board will meet at 4 p.m. Thursday at the Robert L. Hope Community Center in the heart of the Africatown community next to where a future Heritage House museum is under construction. The Heritage House, viewed as the first tourism-related attraction in Africatown, is expected to open in early 2022.

Spoiler: Heritage House

The ARC’s efforts will also include preserving the community’s history -- Africatown was settled by the Clotilda survivors following the Civil War. Also, the group’s purpose will include developing commerce in the historic community.

The ARC board members include:

• Ruth Taylor Ballard, a retired nurse and current Africatown resident. The Africatown Historic Preservation Foundation appointed Ballard.
• Teresa Fox Bettis, executive director of the Center for Fair Housing. Appointed by Clarke.
• Ann Brown, managing attorney of Legal Services of Alabama’s Mobile office. Appointed by Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson.
• Keri Coumanis, a law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama. Appointed by the late Councilman Levon Manzie.
• Angela Davis Littles, a health information management professional and a resident of Africatown who represents the Clotilda Descendants Association. The association appointed Littles.
• Terry Harbin, managing partner of Affordable Homes Gulf Coast and a retired bank president. Appointed Sandy Stimpson.
• Marc Jackson, owner and director of Kazoola Eatery & Entertainment and a former bank officer. Appointed by Manzie.
• Shirley Sessions, vice president and community development manager for Regions Bank. Appointed by state Senator Vivian Figures.
• Jill Stork, Mobile Division Area Manager with Alabama Power Company. Appointed by Mobile County Commissioner Merceria Ludgood.

The ARC will eventually be housed in the former Scott Credit Union building on Paper Mill Road. The city purchased the building from the descendants of Timothy Meaher, who owned the slave ship. The building is expected to undergo renovations in the coming months as part of a project spearheaded by the Mobile County Commission.
