"When Nicholas Holmes - the seventh generation of his family to bear the name - died in 1957, his son Nicholas sought an appropriate way to pay homage to his father's memory. His decision was to purchase from the Library of Congress copies of more than 600 blueprints and drawings of historic buildings in Mobile compiled under the aegis of the Historical American Buildings Survey during the Depression. He donated the works to the Mobile Historic Preservation Society and selected the Mobile Public Library as the depository for these drawings and photographs so that interested persons might have free access to the documents..." -Mobile Press Register, October 9, 1977 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nicholas Hanson Holmes III Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Library of Congress Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Historic American Buildings Survey Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource These items may be used for educational and research purposes.

Text Any textual data included in the document Local Africatown on verge of historic breakthrough Park Service poised to add community built by slave-ship survivors to National Register of Historic Places John Sharp jsharp@al.com 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. 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. 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. 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. The pending federal action was endorsed by both local and state review panels earlier this year. 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. I don’t believe well have any problems “ said Devereaux Bennis, director of the Mobile Historic Development Commission. 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. 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 . 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. 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. 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. “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.” 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. “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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Diouf is hopeful. “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.” Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Text Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
