The Clotilda, carrying on board an estimated 110 African children, teenagers and young adults, made its secret arrival along the Gulf Coast shores in 1860, more than 50 years after the importation of slaves to the United States was prohibited.
Remnants of that cargo ship, the last recorded in U.S. history to arrive in this country, were discovered in 2019 along the Mobile River. But the descendants of those enslaved had long heard whispers of the Clotilda. In the Africatown community, located just outside Mobile, Ala., their stories are cherished.
In collaboration with the City of Mobile and Visit Mobile, SCADpro administrators and SCAD students are working to develop a cultural experience centered around Africatown and the Clotilda in a three-part project.
A mural inspired to build the Savannah community up, has done the opposite after being stolen. I wanted other people to be inspired by it and now they aren t getting a chance to see it, Jones said.
Jones worked on the mural for two weeks, including an additional two weeks to work on the protective coats due to the mural being outside. There were nine other artists who also worked on the project. Savannah is really known for hospitality. I wanted to put all of that in the mural but wanted to make it easy to read. Just keeping to the theme for building together, I created characters over the summer called the Baby Grahams and in the mural they are discovering this new town, Jones said. The characters were inspired by the Magic Treehouse book.
