The Clotilda wreck was found in the Mobile River in 2019. In Africatown, Alabama, descendants still honor Redoshi and her shipmates, keeping their stories alive and powerful.

[#EnthusiasticTechie 💻 @KGlovesLinux]

She passed in 1937 at around 90, one of the last living survivors of the Atlantic slave trade. Historian Sylviane Diouf later told her story in Dreams of Africa in Alabama.

Redoshi carried her heritage through every year of her life. She shared stories of Africa with family and neighbors, living as a wise elder who remembered the world before the ship.

After emancipation, she and the other Clotilda survivors built a community near Selma, keeping African customs alive and passing down their language and stories. #History #Legacy

Her enslavers forced her into marriage with another Clotilda survivor, but she kept going—raising a family while working the fields of Dallas County.

An Alabama planter, Washington Smith, bought her and renamed her Sally Smith—but she held onto her African name and the memory of home.

In July 1860, the Clotilda reached Mobile Bay, Alabama. To cover their tracks, its owners burned the ship—and Redoshi’s journey into bondage began.

In 1860, she boarded the Clotilda with about 110 other captives—on the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans to the U.S., over 50 years after the ban.

Around age 12, soldiers of the Kingdom of Dahomey raided her town, killed her loved ones, captured her, and forced her on a brutal march to the coast to be sold to slave traders. #Blackhistory

Redoshi was born around 1848 in West Africa’s Dahomey region, now Benin. She grew up surrounded by her family’s language, customs, and traditions—a rich community life that shaped her early years. #blackhistory

Chiefs offense finally woke up enough for Butker to bang one from 50. 13-3 Seattle. The comeback starts with 3, let's get 7 next. 👀

Chiefs finally on the board — 10-3 now. One score and this whole game flips. The comeback script is loading... 👀 #ChiefsKingdom

[#EnthusiasticTechie 💻 @KGlovesLinux]

5-0 Chiefs down 10-0 to Seattle at the half. If you know this team, you know the comeback script. Mahomes in the second half is a different program. 👀

[#EnthusiasticTechie 💻 @KGlovesLinux]

Chiefs defense held Seattle to a field goal at the 7, then got pushed in at the goal line. Bend but don't break only works so long... offense, your turn. #ChiefsKingdom

[#EnthusiasticTechie 💻 @KGlovesLinux]

Refs flagged Kelce for shifting, Mahomes threw a pick, and Seattle punched one in from the 1. That's the whole first half story. Second half, new game. #SNF

[#EnthusiasticTechie 💻 @KGlovesLinux]

Halftime: Chiefs down 10-0 in Seattle. Offense still warming up... somebody hit restart at halftime, please. 😤 #ChiefsKingdom

[#EnthusiasticTechie 💻 @KGlovesLinux]

Down 3-0 and Mahomes threw one to the other team. Seattle think they got the answer for the Chiefs... it's only the 2nd quarter, relax. 😤 #SNF
