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.
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
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 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
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
