    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.

  • Manatees Make a Splash in Mobile Bay the Waters of Coastal Alabama
    Manatees Make a Splash in Mobile Bay The waters of coastal Alabama have been known for many things. Whether you’re fishing for speckled trout, watching the mullet jump, or lounging in a boat on a lazy Sunday afternoon, the Mobile Bay is a treasured part of Alabama’s culture. Now, this beloved bay is becoming popular for another reason. Over the past several years, biologists and residents have been tracking endangered manatees in Mobile Bay and surrounding river systems. West Indian manatees are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act. We’ve grown accustomed to thinking of them as living in Florida because that’s where they concentrate during the winter. But Mobilians are quickly learning that manatees also take lengthy vacations on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Suzi Mutascio has lived on Dog River for 22 years. She used to think manatees in Alabama were just an old wives’ tale. But August 11, 2010 changed her view forever. That was the first time Mutascio ever witnessed a manatee capture, and the giant creature quickly won her heart. “There were veterinarians, students and biologists right next to my house, including folks from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Sea World, and Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s Manatee Sighting Network,” explains Mutascio. “They brought the manatee to my convenient beach. I still cannot find the words to aptly describe the poignancy of that experience for me. I was in a complete state of awe to be so close to such a magnificent animal.” That day, Mutascio learned what federal, state and local biologists had been studying for years: manatees spend a lot of time in the Mobile Bay area.
