We return to the Mobile County Training School to record parts of the spirit of our ancestors festival. We spoke with organizer joscelyn davis. The spread of our ancestor festival is a day set aside to commemorate the descendants of the clotilda. There are festivals that started back in the eighties from the original founders of the descendants association, and i guess it stopped for a while, so i decided to start it up again. I was reading doctor natalie robertsons book, the slave ship clotilda, and the makings of africatown, thats how i came up with the title. I was looking for a title but a lot of things werent ringing a bell, but when i read her book i said, all, while spirit of our ancestors just jumped at me.

Well, growing up here in africatown and attending Union Missionary baptist church, there was a bus of cudjo lewis in front of our church all my life. Back

The consequences of which have made america less safe and unnecessarily put our armed forces in harms way. From north korea to syria to russia, its impossible to say the world is a safer place than before President Trump took office. In each of these, and you look, were worse off because of his intervention. North korea has many more Nuclear Bombs and is has icbms. Syria is a big mess since we with drew and every time he confronts putin, he loses and putin cleans his clock. Its no wonder that so Many Americans are really worried about what he might do in iran. Its clear that the mothers and fathers of america dont want another endless war in the middle east and yet the president could force us into one or more likely bumble into one. Because strategy and the president dont seem to intersect.

When Patrick Shanahan was the nominee after jim mattis laughed, he was viewed as in the running but did not get the not. Now he is on the fast track. He has sailed through confirmation. The only pushback he got from senators was from Elizabeth Warren who pushed him on his board for raytheon. He was a vp for Government Relations and their top lobbyist on capitol hill. She asked whether that would present a conflict of interest and wanted him to make a commitment to not work for another defense contractor for four years after leaving government service.
