Authors Forum with All Things Africatown

Join Mobile Museum of Art and All Things Africatown for an authors forum centered on the Clotilda story, an intimate, thought-provoking gathering that brings history to life through storytelling, dialogue, and community reflection.

The forum features authors, historians, and cultural bearers who explore the legacy of the Clotilda — the last known ship to bring Africans to the United States — and the founding of Africatown by its survivors. Through readings, moderated conversations, and audience engagement, participants examine themes of resilience, memory, identity, and justice, connecting past experiences to present-day conversations about heritage and healing.

The space encourages learning, honoring ancestors, and empowering communities by ensuring the Clotilda story is preserved, shared, and passed on to future generations.

If you have questions or concerns, please call the Africatown Heritage House at (251) 680-1688 or email Joycelyn Davis.
