Africatown on verge of historic breakthrough&#13;
Park Service poised to add community built by slave-ship survivors to National Register of Historic Places&#13;
John Sharp&#13;
jsharp@al.com&#13;
Nothing has ever come easy for the Africatown community, founded generations ago by the people who were aboard the last slave ship to enter the U.S. from Africa.Robert Battles Sr., the 67 year old director of the Africa town welcome center and head of the community’s  mobilization  project, can  relate. &#13;
He and other  volunteers  have  had  to  deal  with  vandals  eroding resources and a long struggle to win governmental   recognition  of  Africa town’s  significance. &#13;
A   payoff  could  be  forthcoming  within  45 days or so,  the  National  Park  Service could   add the  approximately  400 building  within Africa town  in northern 	Mobile  to  its  National  Register  of Historic  Places. &#13;
What  this  means  for  me is it  illustrates  perseverance  Battles said.  And strength which is the same characteristic  of  the  Africans  who came  in 1859. &#13;
The  pending  federal  action  was endorsed  by  both  local  and  state  review  panels  earlier  this year. &#13;
The  state’s endorsement  in   September   was particularly  important , Rarely, does the federal  government  deny an  application  that has reached this stage, although  it may call  for changes  in  the application  terms  and scope. &#13;
I don’t believe well have  any  problems “ said Devereaux  Bennis, director of  the  Mobile Historic  Development  Commission. &#13;
The addition to the National  Register  while  mostly ceremonial, does, provide certain  protections to the properties  on the  list  and  allows  their  owners  access  to tax  credits  and  grants. &#13;
Africa Town’s  history has long  been somewhat  obscure  locally-Battles  refers to  it as a step  child  -and  he said  that  past  efforts  to earn   historical  and  preservation  status  received  push back  from  property owners  and  others . &#13;
There  have been  some recent efforts  to raise  the  community’s  profile. For  instance, a historical  marker   was  enacted  in  2011  and the  Old  Plateau  Cemetery  and  Africa  town  Grave yard where it’s estimated  some  3,000  people  are  buried. &#13;
Bennis  said  discussions to get  the  entire  community on   the federal  registry  have  been  going  on  for years ,  but its  only been   in the  past two  years  or  so  where  momentum built  “ it’s not something  you  can  do  in  15  minutes” Bennis said. “You need  to  do  a survey ;  research  and  we’ve  been  working  on I  it for   probably  two  and  a  half  years.&#13;
The  ship  Clotilda arrived  in the  Mobile Bay  in  either  1859  or 1860,  Aboard  were more  than 100  African  slaves  who were eventually sent inland to work. The Civil  War left them  free; but with  nowhere  familiar  to go, they returned  to the river  side north of Mobile.&#13;
“I  think  it’s long overdue  and  wonderful  “ said  Sylviane Anna Diouf, author of the 2007 book, “Dreams of Africa in Alabama: The Slave Ship Clotilda and the Story of the Last Africans Brought to America” and curator of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York. “The existence of the site is a tribute to the achievement of its founders and proof of their determination at remaining a distinct community.”&#13;
Bill Clark, a retired Democratic state representative from Prichard, said the designation could be the launching pad for developing Africatown as a tourist destination, the ultimate goal for the coalition of volunteers at Africatown.&#13;
“This is really just the break of the ice on what we consider a very unique history we need to tell,” said Clark, chairman of the subcommittee of the Africatown project.&#13;
Some building blocks for the future have already been established. For one, the city donated to the coalition a new trailer to serve as a welcome center and to replace one that was in disrepair.&#13;
Now, Battles hopes to replace vandalized busts of Cudjoe Lewis – the last survivor of the Clotilda, and perhaps the community’s most recognizable personality – and the late Prichard Mayor John Smith. Donated in May 2007 by filmmakers Thomas Akodjinou of Benin and Felix Eklu of Togo, the busts were destroyed by vandals in 2011. &#13;
In their place, Battles envisions a monument similar to the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C., listing the names of everyone who was aboard the Clotilda. Coalition members will be meeting on Wednesdays to craft a plan for the community’s future prospects.&#13;
Battles said the purpose of the coalition is to preserve memories of the last Africans to arrive as slaves. “But it’s also to teach our youth about the importance of culture and how culture plays into self-esteem and helps stop violence and all negative things,” he said.&#13;
Diouf is hopeful.&#13;
“It is an absolutely unique place in American history and it needs to be maintained and preserves as a living site that can contribute to the development of the community, which in turn will ensure its preservation,” she said. “And keep alive the memory of the extraordinary men and women who tried to re-create Africa in Alabama.”&#13;

Girl Scouts participate in AfricaTown Folk Festival&#13;
Girl Scouts from the Orange Grove Jesse Thomas A.F. Owens Girl Scout House participated in the opening ceremonies of the recent AfricaTown Folk Festival. The day of special events, designed to remember the Plateau community's rich cultural heritage, began with a parade led by Girl Scouts Latasha McMillian, Terri Foster, Lashonda Foster, Junita Caver, and Chantell Montgomery carrying flags representing the five African nations from which the Africans on the Clotilda slaveship were taken.</text>
