Remains of Last-Known Slave Ship Clotilda May Have Been Found-- Part 4
Later members of the Clotilda slaves bought land north of Mobile and created Africatown where some of the descendants still live.
In Africatown they spoke their native tongue, farmed the land using traditional African techniques and ran their own school.
The last of the original Clotilda slaves, Cudjoe Lewis died in 1935.
