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. You greeted everyone, and then there is a point when you had descendants speak. How did you come up with your program .
