This is a great channel. Thank you
It's too bad we couldn't hear her actually speak

[@cspanHistory]

Yes, it is such a shame the U.S. Agricultural Dept. film only had the narrator's voice. The Library of Congress has an audio collection of former slaves memories: www.loc.gov/collections/voices-remembering-slavery/about-this-collection/

They don't want us to hear. They want to keep this information secret because they know many would be highly upset.

For the record, Redoshi was not the last survivor of the Transatlantic Trade. Matilda McCrear survived her by a few years.

Amazing footage. I’d love to hear from her descendants.

The drummer Quest Love found that he was a descendant of the Africans trafficked on the Clotilde .

[@tiarachristiana7133]

@kaydenpat just to give you an update, our family went to Alabama last week for our family reunion and her home is a tourist attraction and some members of our family were denied entry.. The family who stole the land is now profiting from it and one woman in particular was quite rude as well. The legal process has already started and I would love to keep this comment section updated as my family go through this process.

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

The local people knew the ship was there for a long time. It wasn't lost. And the archeologists involved were taken to the ship by the locals. The Clotilde was there because of a bet. Three friends got into an argument about whether or not one of them could bring in slaves on a ship. It was well past the time for when slavery was outlawed in this country. So they were risking getting caught and then charged with crimes. One of them succeeded in doing it. It wasn't a long standing practice of smuggling slaves in during the dark of night. He won his bet. The ship wasn't used again. And the people on the ship formed Africatown. Tell the whole story and not just what you want to. I've watched 3 different shows with people all claiming to be the last transatlantic slave.

Apologize to black Americans and locals didn't do anything. But your ships to be blamed. You can fool yourself fool somebody sometimes but you can't fool everybody everytimes

[@everyonesopinionisdumb]

Original slave trade story is fake. My bet is this is one of the few times slaves were actually brought on a ship

[@reginaldblack8326]

You can't name 5 books from actual real black American slaves. You just sad and following a narrative you never researched

Yes. They were both brought on the Clotilde (ship).

[@alicianettles1822]

Sally is a name in many families of white ppl. Allie and Sally are family names that go back a long way. I’ve never heard that Sally was a dog’s name. The book by Ben Raines had 34 slaves sold to Washington Smith.,

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

F you!!!

[@twonumber22]

That's right.

[@hensonlaura]

Can we say lets work to free the millions enslaved RIGHT NOW? Or do you care? Seems like if you don't care to help, you may owe some other folks reparations, by your standards.
