This is a very eye opening story into the Heart of the terrifying and horrific Slave Trade. To actually find a Slave Ship is outstanding! I’m so glad that some of the descendants were able to come along. It would have been extremely emotional and painful to be there! Bless them all! Back to watching!
I’m from Mobile Alabama, my ancestors including my mother lived in the all black town of the surviving slaves of the Clotida. It’s called plateau now but back then it was called African town. It was a thriving city however “ the people “ kept burning it down. It’s pretty much a Hood now but everyone goes back yearly and celebrate
I’ve requested we showcase this and the Decendent documentary at our downtown cinema in support of Truth and Reconciliation efforts. I’d like Baracoon, the last Slave book to be available as well as information on Zora Neale Houston’s efforts to capture- accurately- their experiences 😢
I’m from Mobile Alabama. And we still celebrate every year in a city called plateau, it used to be called African town. It’s the city of the surviving slave of the clotida.

Since you didn’t give any proof at all, here’s a bit more information From Wikipedia: “Wreckage from Clotilda was allegedly found in 2018, but the Alabama Historical Commission ruled out the findings because of major differences between the two vessels,and apparent lack of any fire damage. In May 2019, the Alabama Historical Commission announced the wreck had finally been found by researcher Ben Raines, showing physical and forensic evidence that powerfully suggests that this is the Clotilda.”
What that's the only thing that gives you comfort. .well only 5 percent of those so called slaves from Africa made it to the States. Now let's talk about the American indigenous people that was not sold to your people. I'll wait.

What was done to my people were extremely inhumane and you would have to wonder, what kind of mind would individuals like that, would have to have to look at and treat people in that manner. That mindset was worse than an animal. But I have to also ask, why would our own people sell us off like that, away from our families, homes etc. That was horrible also. They knew that it was wrong. Africa had everything. There was no excuse. We let the enemy in and once that happened it's a done deal, so it continues on til today. May God help us.

😇💜 I'm sure when the African American finally settled they were probably great full to still be alive, but at the same time knowing they were NOT going back to Africa and MISSING their friends and family and KNOWING they were in the hands of EVIL ( they SUFFERED lynching, starvation, hangings etc. ) and also REMEMBER that the African American ( slaves ) were NOT free. The African people ( Slaves ) did NOT truly have a voice ( being told what to do asking permission for EVERYTHING ) they were also NOT allowed to learn how to read or write, and it was common for them to write the alphabet in the dirt with a stick and then erase what they had done so they didn't get caught. Also remember that they worked from dusk to dawn. So very SAD !!!😢

Anyone invovled in the trade is equally bad. But let's not forget that not every slave was traded or sold by will, oftentimes by force. I mean, why are you somehow distraught that the 'end user' is getting blamed..?
I wonder why National Geographic never comes to Africa to do similar colonialism stories. Don't Africans have such stories? Hollywood movies, perhaps? ... Aren't those stories to be told?
Boats come in different sizes, especially boats meant for a river, and nobody said ALL slave ships were huge, just that they carried many many people. A transoceanic vessel purchasing and capturing humans on the African coast and transporting them to other places is going to be significantly larger than a boat used to smuggle cargo and people up a river.
Simple question. Would you rather be a descendant of one of these slaves or a descendant of a slave who stayed in Benin? Google Benin, it might help you decide.
So essentially you're saying the descendants of these enslaved people should be grateful their ancestors were slaves in America & not Benin? That's the most ignorant take I ever heard, but nothing is a surprise coming from the likes of people lie you.
All of these descendants deserve their families land or reparations back especially when they have direct proof of the ship that brought them over. It's nice to study and all but we need to just go ahead and do what's right by those people.
They weren't smuggled into the country against their will. They were sold by their African tribes. Human trafficking is STILL happening in Africa. These societies need the money for their economy. Seek reparations from West African Govt for selling their people as slaves all over the world.
I'm sorry what..? Even if they were sold by their tribes, it would still be against their will. Find me a single person who would willingly be SOLD and shipped across the globe. Just because they were sold by the tribes, doesn't make the trade any more acceptable. Everyone, regardless of race or nationality that played some role in it were all equally bad.
Im sorry but this just not resonating with me for several reasons. I always find it funny that we question nothing about the Slave Narrative…I mean we literally show no apprehension that we show everything else.
Foundational BLK Americans (FBA) deserve to receive reparations from the United States of America government. And, Foundational BLK Americans (FBA) will receive reparations. Justice for Foundational BLK Americans (FBA) 💯🇺🇲.

Powerful story!
Excellent Presentation,
The slave trade ended in 1808, as required by the Constitution. Clotilda broke the law 52 years later.
216 years later
There were slaves until 1960’s. If you count the kids they just found in West Virginia we can make that 2024
Slavery ended in 2010 when Mississippi filled the last document ending slavery.
That’s what I thought- don’t they say it’s the last “ legal” ship here? Did I miss that? It was illegal and that’s why all the secrets

For real?

They did eventually find remnants of the actual ship. The first wreck was too long to fit the Clotilda's description.
Shame on the African slave traders committing atrocities against their own people.
Yeah okay!
But excuse those who tried to both Perfect and Perpetuate it? Okay.
No “Original Sellers” on those boats.
Get reparations from them!!!! Lol
Those aren’t the same ppl
Do West African even confirm this?
