Fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed, the Clotilda became the last ship in history to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. The ship was scuttled and burned on arrival to hide evidence of the crime, allowing the wealthy perpetrators to escape prosecution. Despite numerous efforts to find the sunken wreck over the next 160 years, it wasnt found until 2019. Raines, who uncovered one of our nations most important historical artifacts, recounts the ships perilous journey, the story of its rediscovery, and its complex legacy. Against all odds, Africatown, the Alabama community founded by the captives of the Clotilda, prospered in the Jim Crow South. Raines tells the epic tale of one communitys triumphs over great adversity and a celebration of the power of human curiosity to uncover the truth about our past and heal its wounds. -- adapted from jacket
