In “Re-Embracing Africa: Answering African Dreams From The Coffin Clotilda,” the author recounts his 2019 travels to the West Coast of Africa. The book details his day-to-day encounters where he identifies African commonalities which mirrored lessons, messages, and actions passed on and taught to him from his grandmother and great aunt's who were first generation Ascendants whose parents were held captive on the coffin Clotilda. Although bound for 5 years they established one of the only Afrocentric communities in the America's, known as AfricaTown, USA.
This book is filled with personal conversations from individuals he encountered during his journey and captures events from 1860 which are still relevant in the 21st century. This memoir transitions into current day affairs, to include the criminal justice system, or the lack thereof, policing, tackles the quandary of the Mobile elite, and the unresolved recompense of the Meaher Family slavers.
