Their enslaved ancestors were smuggled into Alabama in 1860, long after the United States had banned the import of slaves. The smugglers burned the ship to hide their crime, and for more than 150 years, the ship's remains lay on the bottom of the Mobile River. The community of Africatown, founded by slaves brought by the Clotilda, grew up nearby.

If infrastructure was there, if land was properly restored , businesses not hindered by crazy laws or even loans not awarded because of institutional racism, which could have led to breakthroughs in sciences, people's lives etc... it is much bigger than money alone. Families that would have been there had the father, mother or son and daughter not been killed. And then the trickling down of these opportunities compounded over time. Trillions worth of knowledge, inventions, ideas, technology, mankind would have been better off if peace was abound lifting one another up instead of spending insane amounts of energy to finding new cunning and machiavellic ways to destroy black people only to find out that they rise up taller than before.

Scott Koningisor That’s true, however with the basic knowledge I do have of the history of this area, the information is more than likely true. I truthfully don’t know much about the place outside of currently events and minor history details. It’s not that the information sounds fishy, simply that I never had much information to begin with.

Why though? If no one was taught that their ancestors were enslaved or that certain things happened, you could literally start over with a fresh slate with the new generation. Think about race relations being 100x better over night ,simply because you let the past die.

@supr4rce 5 лет назад

Bowzy Minnesoldier It’s not the Bible that’s the problem, it’s the religion! We are the Hebrew people of the Bible but we let our oppressors give us their understandings and versions of who we are. Mix the false teachings of the Bible with BS Eurocentric history and you got yourself a brainwashed black Christian. But if you read and study the Bible closely and do your own research into ancient history, all of a sudden Christianity becomes the biggest lie propagated on African people! The Bible is OURS and we must read and understand the word of God and Europeans will be sent packing along with their false Christ they got the world foolishly worshipping! Black Christians are stubborn mental slaves and don’t know the difference between religion and the truth! Psalm 62:10 KJV [10] Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Bring the ship up and put it on display. Have a model next to it that shows it in its original condition. If there is a ship's manifest put it on display. If you can identify the descendants of the people enslaved, see if you can tie them back to their homeland, their African tribe, their African village. If possible connect these descendants with their African relatives. Let's put Africa town on the map. Celebrate the survival of those enslaved.

Clotilda was the name of Harriett Winslow's aunt in the series, "Family Matters", in the episode where Carl mistook her urn for a candy jar and accidentally dropped her ashes into the trashcan filled with ash from their fireplace, which they were cleaning.
