All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
The Clotilda was the last known ship to carry enslaved people from Africa to the United States, landing near Mobile, Alabama, in 1860. For decades, the location of its remains were a mystery, until 2019, when they were discovered by journalist Ben Raines. Raines joins us to discuss his new book, The Last Slave Ship: The True Story of How Clotilda Was Found, Her Descendants, and an Extraordinary Reckoning.
