Title
From Africa to Alabama: Stories of survivors of the last slave ship
Abstract
The horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade are often expressed in numerical terms whose enormity can be difficult to grasp. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, 12.5 million people in Africa were forced onto slave ships bound for the Americas; 10.7 million survived the crossing and entered a life of bondage. The story of the Clotilda, the last slave ship to arrive on U.S. shores, gives human dimension to those staggering statistics.
