Last fall, visual artist Adam Davis captured tintype photos of the descendants of Africatown during the premiere of the @HGMedia documentary Descendant. He recently took one of me, too. These photos were inspired by the images taken of a Clotilda survivor, Cudjoe Lewis.
If you haven't already, I hope you’ll take some time to watch Descendant on @netflix. It's an important documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the Clotilda, the last known ship carrying enslaved folks from Africa, as they uncover the truth about the past.
@BarackObama @netflix Has Ron De Santis given permission for this documentary to be shown? According to the narrative of cancel culture, we must not offend young white boys.
@BarackObama @netflix Really important to keep events like these this in mind I’ll def check it out 👍🏻
@BarackObama @netflix Thank you President Obama, I’m going to watch it. The pics are fabulous. 🫶🏼🫡
@BarackObama @netflix Bra, you won't survive a week in Africa.
@BarackObama @netflix Thanks for the suggestion.
@BarackObama @netflix I am not able to watch movies about slavery. I think it was the worst attitude of Humankind. I am Portuguese and I deeply regret our part in that tragedy.
