LAST CARGO: The Untold Story of Cudjo Lewis, The Last Man Kidnapped to America | Rakesh Rajbongshi

The Final Voice of the Atlantic Slave Trade In 1927, author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston traveled to Africatown, Alabama, to interview Cudjo Lewis (Kossola), the last known survivor of the brutal transatlantic slave trade. This video dives deep into Lewis's life, documenting his vibrant, free childhood in Takkoi, West Africa (present-day Benin), the horrific Dahomey raid that captured him, and his agonizing journey aboard the Clotilda—the final, illegal slave ship to land in America in 1860. We explore: Kossola's life before capture and his deep African culture. The trauma of the Barracoon and the Middle Passage. The founding of Africatown, a community built on resilience. The profound sorrow Lewis endured, losing his entire family. Why Hurston's manuscript, Barracoon, was suppressed for decades and its eventual, powerful publication in 2018. Join us as we honor the memory and resilience of Cudjo Lewis and the millions who suffered this unimaginable tragedy.
