And i was reading the book, the slaveship clotilda and the makers of africa town. That is how i came up with the title. I was looking for a title, but you know, a lot of things were not ringing a bell. When i was reading her book, i was like oh wow, our ancestors just jumped at me. You greeted everyone and there was a point where you had descendents speak. How did you come up with your program . Well, growing up here in africa town and attending the missionary baptist church, there was a bust of cudgel lewis in front of our church all of my life, and back in 2002 that bust was destroyed by some kids acting up, and they decided to vandalize, and later, they put up a Historical Marker, and this Historical Marker had the founders of Union Baptist church, and there were several names on there, and growing up, i always heard about cudgel lewis,

The Mobile County Training School in africa town to record parts of the spirits of our ancestors festival. We spoke with organizer joyce linde davis. The spirit of our ancestors festival is a day to set aside to commemorate the descendents of the clotilda.

We were lucky to have known him and for some of us who work with him to a limited degree. He too would agree
