    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.

The announcement was the culmination of an effort, supported by state, county and local officials, to strengthen Walmart’s supply chain network while creating more than 550 local full-time jobs. The new storage and cross-dock facility will be the fourth Walmart Distribution Center in the state. Once completed, it will span more than 2.5 million square feet. The distribution center, which will take approximately 14 months to build, will supply several regional distribution centers supporting approximately 800 Walmart stores in Alabama, Mississippi and other areas to the north. “We are excited about how this facility will help us serve customers from Alabama to the Great Lakes and the economic impact it will have through local job creation and future economic development in the Mobile area,” said Jeff Breazeale, Walmart’s vice president of Direct Import Logistics. “We are grateful to the State of Alabama, Mobile County, the City of Mobile and the Alabama State Port Authority for the support we have received throughout this process, and we look forward to a strong relationship with the community for years to come.” During the announcement ceremony, which was hosted by APM Terminals Mobile, the Alabama State Port Authority and the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, state, county and local officials highlighted the many benefits the new distribution center will bring to the area, including increased regional economic growth and local career opportunities with a path for advancement.
