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

The people were sold and the ship was burned to cover up their wrong doing. When the civil war ended those Africans had only been here for 5 years. They knew who they were and remembered where they came from. Some of them founded Africatown outside of Mobile AL and their descendants still live there today. 3/6

#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

"On a cold December morning in 1931, a short, elderly Black woman set out on a 24km (15-mile) walk from her homestead in Alabama, United States, on a quest for justice. The long trek to the court in Selma was no small undertaking for a person in her mid-70s. But Matilda McCrear was determined to go and make her legal claim for compensation for the horrors that she and her family had been through.

Until her death 85 years ago on January 13, 1940, Matilda was the last surviving passenger on the last-ever slave ship bound from the West African coast to North America in late 1859."

Remembering Matilda, the last survivor of the transatlantic slave trade

Her name at birth was Abake – meaning ‘born to be loved by all’ among the Tarkar people of Western Africa.

It was this moment which became the turning point for #Arianism, because the Frankish tribes had converted to Arian #Christianity, since it blended with their existing pagan worldview.

The monarchy and the faith had co-existed for a couple of centuries, but this was when they became destined to cement together.

After one fortuitous outcome on the battlefield #Clotilda persuades a skeptical #Clovis to give up his #paganism and baptize not only himself, but a field of thousands of soldiers.

The sons of Clovis would suffer their own intrigues in the years to come.

But, this was the moment when the Germanic tribes inherited the legacy and power of the #Catholic faith.
