It began with a bet in 1859 and would end in a burning in 1860, but, for the 110 African men, women, and children who had been illegally smuggled into the United States aboard the Clotilda, the flames that engulfed it were only the beginning of their new lives as slaves. #History #Africatown #ClotildaSlaveShip #Slavery #USHistory #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2787-en/

Try to watch the film. Its on Netflix. And if you can listen to Kamau on our Youtube channel, on Spotify, or if you don’t want to be tracked and targeted for ads, you can listen on our website. He drops some serious knowledge. 6/6

Recovering Our History From Deep Waters - Nubian Tigers Podcast

We are in another cycle where racists are trying to suppress African American history. It’s very important that Black folks do their genealogy and understand their family lines. Although we mentioned genealogy in a previous show, we haven’t talked about it in depth.. By chance, we met the director of a film called DESCENDANT which ... Recovering Our History From Deep Waters

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory The film heavily features DWP diver Kamau Sadiki, who has participated on teams working on the recovery of 5 wrecked slave ships. Through some hard work, tenacity, and a stroke of good luck we were able to interview Kamau on our podcast. He has an emotionally moving connection with our ancestors lost in the enslavement era, and talked about the importance of remembering them. 5/6

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory A few months back, I was fortunate to meet the director of the film entitled DESCENDANT which tells the story of the Clotilda, its people and the saga of trying to locate and salvage the Clotilda wreck, which was believed to be the the Mobile River. Divers With a Purpose (DWP) assisted with locating and recovering the wreck. 4/6

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Clotilda #Africatown #KamauSadiki #AfricanAmericanHistory I think @Deglassco may have written about the Clotilda, a wrecked slave ship. Two white men in Mobile AL made a bet that they could get some kidnapped Africans and forcibly transport them to the US in 1860, about 50 years after the importation of Africans for the purpose of enslavement was banned. 2/6

Those who follow me know I don’t usually attempt to educate on African American history. There are a few talented members of the community who enjoy that and do it as service. I’m going to make a small exception in this thread to my usual refusal, to talk about the last slave ship that entered the US and also boost some of my work. 1/6

People's Budget 2023 Survey

As Angelenos gear up for city-wide elections, Mayor Karen Bass is preparing to submit a budget proposal for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Now more than ever, we are committed to a participatory budgeting process that centers the voices of everyday Angelenos to drive spending priorities. We want to hear from you. How would you allocate the City’s general fund? What are your budget priorities? How should we invest in Los Angeles? Did you know that the 2022-2023 budget allocated nearly half of the City's General Fund to LAPD? Is this a good use of tax-payer resources? Make your voice heard by participating in this survey to help create a People’s Budget. The survey includes existing and proposed spending categories. *The survey should take approximately ten minutes to complete.
