I have not been feeling ppl… anyone else feel like this ? It just feels like I haven’t been picking up any genuine energy. Maybe I’m broken or my 3rd is out of order 🤔
It’s so significant too that this narrative was collected by Zora Neale Hurston, one of the greatest authors and anthropologists of her time. She was shunned by the “gatekeepers” of both of these professions, largely because of her Blackness, her womanhood, and her uncompromising commitment to honoring and showcasing both in her works. She died penniless and alone in a state-run institution in 1960. All of her works had gone out of publication by then. It took more than a decade before she was rediscovered. A young author by the name of Alice Walker had come across her work and was deeply inspired by it. “In 1973, after an exhaustive search, Walker came across Hurston’s unmarked grave in Ft. Pierce, Fla. She purchased a headstone for Hurston’s tomb and had it inscribed “A Genius of the South.“”
It is through Zora Neale Hurston’s pioneering sacrifice, and the acceptance of that inheritance by Alice Walker that we have found this missing piece of our history. Without the courageous and unfailing work of Black women, we wouldn’t have Cudjo Lewis’s story. We are slowly regaining a narrative that’s been hidden from us, one that continues to be lied about. Trust Black women to lead the way.
Here is a documentary about it, called Descendants (2022). They found the Clotilda right near the Meaher land, and there is plenty of evidence that the Meahers have always known it was there (including directly lying to Jack Friend when he attempted to find it, which a reporter dug up in a letter.)
And also forensic evidence that they (the descendants of Timothy Meaher, mind you) attempted to destroy the wreckage through blasting. Another horrid piece of the whole thing is that the Meahers own significant tracts of land around Africatown, or Plateau, and they have sold them off to factories which surround the entirety of the land that Cudjo and the other survivors purchased.
The chemicals, drilling, oil, smoke, pollution, etc causes huge amounts of cancer and cancer is many times higher there than it ought to be nationwide. As someone in the documentary said, the direction of infliction of harm goes one way, from the 1800s to the 2020s, from the Meahers to the slaves and their descendants.
