History exists beyond what is written. The Africatown residents in Mobile, Alabama, have shared stories about their origins for generations. Their community was founded by enslaved ancestors who were transported in 1860 aboard the last known and illegal slave ship, Clotilda. Though the ship was intentionally destroyed upon arrival, its memory and legacy weren’t. Now, the long-awaited discovery of the Clotilda’s remains offers this community a tangible link to their ancestors and validation of a history so many tried to bury.

[Netflix] An interesting reflection on race and the transmission of the trauma of slavery through the obsession with finding a sunken slave vessel in 1860 off the North American coast. The offspring is thus considered not only a trace of the past, but an imprint of the personality that resists being just a shadow in order to gain clarity about the necessary survival of memory. "For many it's only a few minutes in their lives," comments a descendant at the gates of a Museum on slavery. "What matters is what they do after visiting the museum." One of the most strong messages about the need to think about the past and, above all, to preserve it.
