jerryking>trans-Atlantic<< slave trade. By 1808, as the number of enslaved persons in the U.S. approached 1.2 million, Congress outlawed the importation of slaves. Even after this prohibition, an estimated 8,000 Africans, like those on the Clotilda, were brought to the U.S. illegally.
As Ms. Durkin relates, the enslavement of the Clotilda’s captives began in mid-April 1860, when warriors of the neighboring Fon people surrounded the town of Tarkar, in present day Nigeria. The attackers, armed with machetes, axes and flintlocks, needed only half an hour to burn the town, kill most of the adults and take prisoner the more than 100 survivors. Many years later, a man named Kossula, 19 at the time of the attack, wept as he recounted the terror of seeing his neighbors slaughtered and then being carried off him self.
After enduring a two-week march to the slave port of Ouidah, in present-day Benin, the
captives were imprisoned together in a barracoon, a large, circular pen with a thatched roof and bamboo walls. Tied to a stake, 12-year-old Redoshi heard the wails of the other prisoners and realized that she would never see her town or family again. “Africa is my home,” she later said. “White man took it from us. They made animals out of us.”
While the prisoners languished in the barracoon, the Clotilda dropped anchor off the African coast. The 86-foot schooner was captained by William Foster, and its voyage was financed by a group of Alabama enslavers headed by the businessman Timothy Meaher. In Ouidah, Foster negotiated a price of $9,000 in gold, 20 barrels of rum and eight cases of calico cloth for the Tarkar captives, who were stripped naked for the duration of the voyage and crammed into the ship’s airless hull. Uriba, a girl of 14 or 15, wept inconsolably for days, while Redoshi prayed for death to take her. Subsisting on a daily ration of a cup of foul water and a little salt pork with crackers, the captives grew so frail that after two weeks, when they were allowed on deck in shifts, they were unable to walk. Seven young victims died at sea. After more than six agonizing weeks, Ms. Durkin writes, the Clotilda reached the Alabama coast and was clandestinely towed through Mobile Bay and then to Twelve Mile Island, north of the city. The ship was burned, and the 103 surviving prisoners, emaciated and disoriented but relieved at finally receiving rags to cover themselves, were taken by steamboat to a wild, swampy area about 40 miles upriver.
Although the Clotilda’s arrival was an open secret around Mobile and reported in
publications such as the New York Times and Harper’s Weekly, the enslavers were able to avoid discovery by shuffling their captives by wagon through a maze of sloughs and canebrakes. As the survivors were sold in small groups, they grieved again at the new separation from family and lifelong friends. Scattered through several Alabama counties, they were put to work in kitchens, cotton fields, forests, lumber mills, shipyards and steamboats. The last slave ship to land in America arrived in Alabama in 1860. Most of its captives were adolescents and children.
At the conclusion of the Civil War, five years later, most of the survivors were still in their teens and early 20s. Longing to return to Africa but unable to raise the money for passage, they continued laboring as sharecroppers on the same plantations where they had been enslaved, or found jobs rebuilding the railroads or working in local industries. A few
managed to buy their own land. One group approached Meaher, their former captor, and
purchased a secluded tract three miles north of Mobile, where they built a largely self-sufficient community they called African Town. The settlement thrived, and by 1912 its population had grown to more than 2,000.
One by one, Kossula, Redoshi and the others passed away. The last survivor, Matilda McCrear, died in Selma on Jan. 13, 1940, at the age of 81 or 82. In 2019 the wreck of the Clotilda was identified, submerged off Twelve Mile Island.
Ms. Durkin is not the first to chronicle the last slave ship and its survivors. The >>Harlem Renaissance<< author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston interviewed Kossula extensively beginning in 1927 but abandoned the project. Her resulting book,“Barracoon,” wasn’t published until 2018. Other writers have mined the archives as well, and the story was featured in a “60 Minutes” segment and a 2022 Netflix documentary.
Acknowledging her debt to her predecessors, and sometimes correcting earlier misconceptions, Ms. Durkin adds her own meticulous research and relates the story in ample and affecting detail. “Ultimately,” she writes,“the story of the Clotilda’s survivors is a tale of enduring tragedy and loss” but also “an extraordinary account of survival and >>endurance<<.” The traces of the survivors’ presence “can still be found throughout Alabama, and their legacy, and their descendants, remain across the United States.” By turns horrifying and inspiring, it is a story that bears retelling.

jerryking>Carter G. Woodson<<, who in 1926 invented what has become Black History Month, was keenly aware of the role of politics in the classroom, especially Lost Cause interventions. “Starting after the Civil War,” he wrote, “the opponents of freedom and social Justice decided to work out a program which would enslave the Negroes’ mind in as much as the freedom of the body has to be conceded.”
“It was well understood,” Woodson continued, “that if by the teaching of history the white man could be further assured of his superiority and the Negro could be made to feel that he had always been a failure and that the subjection of his will to some other race is necessary the freedman, then, would still be a slave.”
“If you can control a man’s thinking,” Woodson concluded, “you do not have to worry about his action.”
Is it fair to see Governor DeSantis’s attempts to police the contents of the College Board’s AP curriculum in African American Studies in classrooms in Florida solely as little more than a contemporary version of Mildred Rutherford’s Lost Cause textbook campaign? No. But the governor would do well to consider the company that he is keeping. And let’s just say that he, no expert in African American history, seems to be gleefully embarked on an effort to censor scholarship about the complexities of the Black past with a determination reminiscent of Rutherford’s. While most certainly not embracing her cause, Mr. DeSantis is complicitous in perpetuating her agenda.
As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so aptly put it, “No society can fully repress an ugly past when the ravages persist into the present.” Addressing these “ravages,” and finding solutions to them — a process that can and should begin in the classroom — can only proceed with open discussions and debate across the ideological spectrum, a process in which Black thinkers themselves have been engaged since the earliest years of our Republic.
Throughout Black history, there has been a long, sad and often nasty tradition of attempts to censor popular art forms, from the characterization of the blues, ragtime and jazz as “the devil’s music” by guardians of “the politics of respectability,” to efforts to censor hip-hop by C. Delores Tucker, who led a campaign to ban gangsta rap music in the 1990s. Hip-hop has been an equal opportunity offender for potential censors: Mark Wichner, the deputy sheriff of Florida’s Broward Country, brought 2 Live Crew up on obscenity charges in 1990. But there is a crucial difference between Ms. Tucker, best known as a civil rights activist, and Mr. Wichner, an administrator of justice on behalf of the state, a difference similar to that between Rutherford and Mr. DeSantis.
While the urge to censor art — a symbolic form of vigilante policing — is colorblind, there is no equivalence between governmental censorship and the would-be censorship of moral crusaders. Many states are following Florida’s lead in seeking to bar discussions of race and history in classrooms. The distinction between Mildred Lewis Rutherford and Governor DeSantis? The power differential.
Rutherford wished for nothing less than the power to summon the apparatus of the state to impose her strictures on our country’s narrative about the history of race and racism. Mr. DeSantis has that power and has shown his willingness to use it. And it is against this misguided display of power that those of us who cherish the freedom of inquiry at the heart of our country’s educational ideal must take a stand.
