"The Survivors of the Clotilda" - The Last American Slave Ship

The Clotilda was the last slave ship to arrive in the USA in 1860. Dr. Hannah Durkin joins me to talk about "“The Survivors of the Clotilda: The Lost Stories of the Last Captives of the American Slave Trade.”" on this edition of "Some Books Considered." The Clotilda arrived in the United States more than 50 years after the passage of a federal law banning the transportation of captive Africans. Survivors of the Clotilda founded Africatown in Mobile, Alabama.
Dr. Hannah Durkin is a historian specializing in transatlantic slavery and African diasporic art and culture. She holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Nottingham and a Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism from Leeds Trinity University. Among her many other credits, she also serves as an advisor to the History Museum of Mobile, working to memorialize the Clotilda survivors. She joins us to talk about “The Survivors of the Clotilda: The Lost Stories of the Last Captives of the American Slave Trade.”
