with incredible prices, long-term installments and without advance payment in a large iranian mansion. this is a spiritual thing, the connection with the natural world and the natural environment brings me peace, it gives me a sense of peace, so i want to be in touch with water as much as possible.

during the slave trade, more than 40,000 trips were made, which included more than 12,000 ships. but it is very interesting that in terms of archeology only 56 of these ships were documented. each of those ships has its own story. in this container, the soil of makwa village in mozambique. these are all precious necklaces. i'm sure you've heard a lot about it. including that these necklaces have been traded with many things. even to receive the dead bodies of africans. well, what i do is that i take these. i sew clothes. we

do this according to a little tradition before we hit the water. even when we are in the water, we have to listen to the sounds. you know , we have to listen to the voices of our ancestors who are trying to guide us to lead to the remains of sunken ships . how sad that the shipwreck discovered in the mobile river delta of tensa is not the clotilda. there are several reasons for the work have authority that shows that this wreck does not belong to clotilda ship. today's country is in west

africa. many people think that they will never find that ship. i was never looking to find the wreck. it didn't matter to me at all to know the place where one of them drowned. because when they tell these stories, all i want to know is that

we were a bunch of africans living in urban africa in alabama. at that time, it was not called africa, it was magzin pointen plateau. my grandmother's house is where she grew up soth was the road magazine. well, we all studied the slave detention center. have you read all the books? i am waiting for your answer. there are four of us , five of us. i am a direct descendant of charlie lewis. i am one of the survivors of the crotilda ship . where is this cazola? you all know him very well. he and charlie stayed here at lewis course, so this is my great-great-great-great-grandfather, six generations before me. i don't want to go there. i am overexaggerating this issue, we can read parts of kaja's story.

i know that when you look at these words , you say to yourself, i know many people who talk like this. charlie is the oldest person from the earth africa. one day after his wife left me , he came to me with some other people who had come by water and said, uncle, tell us a moral story. my name is zoranile. i want to sing a song that i collected in 1935. i forgot the name of the man who sang the song for me. history is like a puzzle whose pieces are put together. my grandmother used to wash us at night by the fireplace and tell us stories. he would pass them on to us so that we can tell the same stories to others like him. they are now

in my family, they call me treasurer. my role is to try to keep the family history alive by telling stories to others. this is your story. this is your story as a community of clotilde ship survivors, so we definitely want to look for you . i will tell those of you who don't know me. my name is kama and siddiqui, i am very happy to come back to you again. alienation while they don't know anything about their future, they only know that they will never see their families again. they not

only came to a foreign land but also to they set foot in a land that was torn apart by the civil war. when we find a ship, it is a principle. we get very valuable information that helps us to narrate this story. clotilda's ship has done this like a communication channel. a channel that is not only towards the past of this story and this group of people, but also a channel towards a very powerful future. a very powerful future for this generation. as my mother said, timothy meher, who was a local businessman, made a bet that he would bring africans to america again after the abolition of slavery , he went and brought some africans here with him.

he brought them to the mouth of the mobil river , took them off the ship and set fire to the ships to leave a trace of his crime. don't leave it. what i know is that everything was related to a condition and timothy meher said yes, we can do this. no god, william foster was the one who built the clotilla and started sailing in april 1860. he went to an area that was called dahmi at that time, that is , today's benin country, and he enslaved these people. and brought to mobile bay in alabama. he sold them to buyers and turned them into slaves. the purpose of setting fire to the ship was that no one could find it there is no proof or document left of it. the example

of the ship's work slowly disappeared and disappeared little by little, and as far as i can remember, it has never been mentioned in the history books. an incident at the top of that river was considered a legend. it is said that these people are the descendants of the same slaves who were on the ship. the ship was burnt and destroyed. no one spread the news because everyone was afraid. for many years africans were told not to tell this story anywhere. they don't even mention his name outside the house. because they may be killed. they may be reprimanded for making such an accusation. this issue is resolved go back to the 180s. from 60 to 1960, i.e. for 100 years, it was not possible to talk about this.

wow well, when you look at things from 25 years ago, it's like you went to a cemetery because something has been lost, as if they were in a hurry to grab it before something was lost. gut's son was henry williams, but henry williams himself had no role. it's really a pity and a shame. the truth is fragmented. some culturists tend to go to historians and gather things to somehow reveal the truth. this is a crying movie. this is annette martha martha has come to her own house. i was born and raised in the plateau area

. another name here is africa town because my mother's grandfather, kojo cazola lewis , came to america from west ghana in africa. after the population grew here, they named it africa town. well, what i like is that we it's great, very great . as you know , there are commonalities between all local historians and cultural scientists. we have a generation that belongs to the past. you know, it's been a month since i used this device. well, i 'm going to talk about some of these things sporadically because they're not organized in my mind the way i want them to be, so like

quoting captain foster had a gun in both hands and threatened to kill anyone he wanted. if he leaves, he will shoot and kill him . some were transferred to other places and some others were transferred to another city in the state of alabama. we always said that we talk about this issue among ourselves, but we couldn't talk about it publicly , that's why many people don't know about our history. do not have they gave us some clothes on the first day and took us up the alabama river. then they hide us in the swamp. timothy meher chose 32 people from among us and...

being human is very important, perfection is important especially when you are present on a dead body that carries slaves . they have stories to tell. these stories were not only about shackles and chains, but also about cooking pots. maybe some of those precious necklaces that some of those africans brought with them were part of their culture and heritage. all these things represent the stories of faith. they are impossible. bring a dish and put these foods in it. this is better than pancakes. if i can go back to my grandmother's time and see where the ship is and what it looks like, see what conditions you are in. being at that time, i feel complete, i feel like i'm connected, it's like you're constantly searching

, you're searching and saying that you're missing something, something like a child read , a child who is constantly looking for his real mother. he goes to find his real mother. well, this desire exists in me. i am looking for the essence of my installation. if i can reach a part of it, i will feel more complete. i give hands there is a story in the middle that is very valuable to share with the world. i would like the ship to be found and honored . but i don't need to get married. my whole life is a proof. i can tell you like all the people who were on that ship. where do they live in this neighborhood? gojo lewis, pollyalin? the american civil war

ended in 1865, so they were no longer slaves , that is, about 5 years later, that is why most of the slaves who were already here were born slaves, they were born slaves , so they could not understand that they were free at all. being means what we tried to protect our house so that we can preserve this historical monument in luis cortez. africans for the people who were already independent in america. bringing a completely new attitude. they turned this place into a prosperous place. the slaves were so far away from the city that no one would interfere with them and they could easily tell their stories. these stories remained in the minds of people who came from africa. they talked about the time of african countries and felt an identity for themselves. this sense

of identity that they had to others and sense of identity they also found a solution. those they kept this feeling and fought for it ever since. this is my last blood. that's why i was lorna's fan. he says all this. it will provide you with all the information you need. these two people are his children. the photo is from when a new church was built. our family came to mobile, alabama from another country. they start to. going to a small town, buying land, the family still has it, they told us that you should never lose your land because they were aware that if here in the city mobile in alabama, you should have a land. when we have something to say, i don't know if you can see down there or not, but the entire canal route is full of

gravestones. when i was a child , i saw some of these gravestones that didn't have a name written on them, it was not clear at all. whose property are they? but right here. i remember coming here when i was a child. the bushes that existed were as tall as tombstones. and my father used to take us through the middle of this bush. we used to come from that front and pass through the middle of these. many nights when i sleep. i am talking to my father. feel when you have a history like this, your ancestors always talk to you. i spent my whole life in this cemetery from birth until now. i learned everything they taught me right here. i even

learned kaja's name in this cemetery. i didn't go to class. i did not go to have fun with my family. at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, my father would pass us by the middle of this cemetery with a fan in his hand and talk to each other, always when he talked to me, he would say at the end, my son, you know, i am old, i will leave here one day, you need something. he always wanted us to learn. with let's talk. so whenever we heard a ghost story, it was not a ghost story for us. they were our ancestors who used to talk to us. he used to tell me that i was born to know about these adventures. my father would have liked to have at least passed this knowledge on to someone else.

where do i look in my father's eyes? i imagine where my father is. i never saw my father really cry , but i heard that he cried. he did not cry once, but he cried for several days . after the release from slavery, they named it africa . its current name is pluto in alabama. its new name was chosen because of the birmingham mobil railway . it is now part of the southern rail network that passes through the middle of the city. but it still retains its african identity. according to these things

i knew once again to search for the old house of a man named. i wonder how a person who has such memories under his pillow can sleep. this film was recorded in 1928 by a young writer and cultural scholar named rosanille, who is considered the first black woman filmmaker. can he worked in the whole area of ​​deep sauce and recorded the adventures of black people's dances and arts. he usually memorized the songs he came across and by voice. he reads them himself.

he met kojo several times and carefully recounted his memories in his own dialect. he took the handwritten version of the stories that he had narrated in a book titled detention center. it was recorded that this book was supposed to be published in 1931, but it was shelved until it was published in 2018. well, now i want to introduce my new friends here , we are very happy. national geographic frederick come up hello hello everyone , i'm really happy to be here, i really can't believe this is one of the biggest positive stories in american history, i want to say that i'm here to

tell your story. we believe this is a great story. let me just say that it is very easy and convenient for us to work with jim delgado. jim is perhaps the best expert in america on remains and carcasses. good ship. maybe he is the best in the whole world. hello to all i am very happy to see many familiar faces. we are now as equipped as we can be do a very comprehensive and complete research. we realized that no one had ever researched this topic before. while everything was investigated and investigated, including the biokont rail accident in the 1990s. we also

found a handwritten map from the land force engineering coast survey in 1889. this research showed that they were moving in the river in that direction, especially around the island of talomail , but they did not find any carcasses or anything , they did not take any action in this area that we are investigating now, so we are in part of we are doing research on the river, except for the northern part above the river, no one has done research on it. i am very happy to be a member of this team. it is always for me. it was a pleasure to meet all of you and to return to you . i am working from the bottom of my heart. i hope

it will be a valuable work. thank you very much. i know tourists come and many other things, but okay. i don't know how to say what i mean, i want to think less about wrestling. i know many people who they tell me how they feel. ask the family that built the ship, they are ship builders. how do they feel? they say they live on telegraph road, so i always imagine when i'm driving home that the forest they first entered was here, and here is the concrete. red spray written by mir. it is very funny that mihar's family lives exactly here

. this is the street where i grew up. timothy street, mihar street. when i go shopping , i may pass by them without knowing them. but they remember someone very well shut their mouths and don't say anything. they told their children that their voices should not be heard and no one should. and the defense was in africa town. an international paper company was also here. a wave of settlement of chemical houses related to the paper industry is here now that the oil industry has come here.

this is the current zoning in afrikaun. all these dark colored areas on the map are industrial areas, the allowed areas for industrial activities in this city were considered very wide. the empty field in the map is shown in gray color. there is a lot of empty space inside the residential logic. when if you have empty fields inside the residential context , then you have to decide for them. the purpose of zoning is to make everything feel right in its place. if you ask someone who lives in africa if the things around them are properly placed and used or not, the answer is no , there is a battle over zoning, it is a battle for destiny, finding the root of the issue, why these things are independent here, or who decides. lease his land to this industry or sell his land to this industry like clotilda's ship is part of the story. this is the city center

it was a plateau. yes, this was the center of africatown. we had everything there. there was a sign that said how to enter the cafeteria by car . there was a gas station. look , there was everything. my best friend lived right across the street, his name was nate headwood. i used to go across the street. reverend hunter lived there, kefiz lived there , the haywood family lived there, you live in that row, all that house and that neighborhood live there. at night, we used to sit outside the window and just enjoy the night , here is my place in miami.

this is the place where i come and sit. i always come and sit here. if i don't catch crabs, i usually come and sit here. many people who are looking for clotilda think that the shipwreck is on the other side of the river. some people think that this is the side of the river, but many people who live in this neighborhood know that this is not the side of the river. they believe that it is above. meaning this is where all our history is. all my life there have been factories around us. it was scott's paper factory. they were all here. who wants to wake up and see that he is sitting on a historical land. but he has to feel the smell of chemicals in the factory. those who are like me feel that this is ours. we do not want a chemical factory. we don't want something that we are alien to. if they take these things from us, it

will destroy our history. these framed documents are related to the taxes of this city. let me look at the date. it is from 1902. i think this is the oldest document related to our property taxes. it is dated it goes back to 1874. i think this one is a bit more recent. it is related to the period after the liberation of the slaves, which were all successful.

he had just cut him to pieces, i say now is the time for kojo to speak in defense of his people, we really want the ground, there was nothing left, i was in tears, that's why i stopped working and looked at nakhodatimoti, he was sitting on the trunk of a tree with a pocket knife in his pocket. he was splitting the trunk when he finished with the ax and there was no tree left. he suddenly looked up and saw where he was standing there and asked me where and what is making you upset. i told him: captain timothy. i am also sad for the blood, he said, but you have a good house, i am joamak, the people standing behind me are residents of afrikaun, we are here today to tell the people whose work is the construction of the nef pipeline and the oil company to stop their work. we will do whatever it takes to get them out. if the water quality is not good, then it is not. who is going to report this problem

?
