The Last Slave Ship: The True Story of How Clotilda Was Found, Her Descendants, and an Extraordinary Reckoning by Ben Raines

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

A really masterful telling of an important and brutal part of our history that the world tried to forget. I cried hearing about Cudjoe's life. It is very heavy at some points and extremely disturbing and violent. But I think the author handled this entire story and the aftermath of the ship being uncovered beautifully. This should be required reading!
