    Alabama heralds 'last slave ship' discovery; ponders future By Kevin McGill, Associated Press on 04.15.19 Word Count 647 Level MAX Archaeological survey teams work to locate the remains of the slave ship Clotilda, in the delta waters north of Mobile Bay, Alabama. Photo by: Daniel Fiore/SEARCH, Inc. via AP MOBILE, Alabama — Dives into murky water, painstaking examinations of relics and technical data and rigorous peer review led historians and archaeologists to confirm last week that wreckage found in the Mobile River in 2018 was indeed the Clotilda, the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. An event heralding the discovery on May 30 in the Mobile community of Africatown made clear that much work remains. The Alabama Historical Commission and others working on the project must decide how much can be salvaged, whether it can be brought ashore or if it should be left in place and protected. Perhaps more important: How can the interest and publicity engendered by the discovery of the Clotilda be harnessed to foster economic and racial justice in the community? Anderson Flen, a descendant of one of the Clotilda's enslaved, believes the historic find can spark new discussions on those topics. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. "Number one is talking and communicating honestly and transparently," Flen said after a news conference on the effort to confirm the discovery. "The other thing is beginning to make some tangible things happen in this community." Another Clotilda survivor's descendant, Darron Patterson, said Africatown residents "have to come together as a group to make sure we're on one page, of one accord, to make sure this community survives." Thursday's gathering at a community center drew roughly 300 people.

Sustaining Our Legacy & Advancing Veterinary Medicine for Future Generations” TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Office of the Dean reetings and welcome to this issue of the Veterinary Medical Perspective magazine. I hope that you enjoy reading and reflecting with this issue of the Perspective. With this unprecedented time and in the midst of global fear and anxiety from the Gcoronavirus disease COVID-19 pandemic, we have been impacted by the widespread of civil unrest from the unjustified murder of unarmed black men and women over the past months. The anger that developed from many of us including our students added to the anxiety and tension of having to teach and learn in an already compromised delivery of our educational programs in a pandemic environment. To support each other as a College family, we utilized a zoom platform to hold a three-part series with our TUCVM Family of faculty, staff, students and alumni on the topic: “Society, Injustice, Racism, and Health” as we navigate through this current state of a pandemic which has compromised all of us and with the additional impact from societal ills of injustice, racism and the impact on the health of people in particular African Americans, and also other people of color. I express my sincere gratitude to the TUCVM family for their support while I served as Acting President of the University during the spring semester of 2020 while President McNair was on medical leave.
