Set in 1860, African Town is a poignant novel-in-verse that recounts the harrowing journey of 110 Africans captured and illegally transported to America aboard the Clotilda. The narrative explores their experiences through the brutal Middle Passage and their struggle to preserve their culture while adapting to life on Southern plantations after being secretly distributed. Following the Civil War, the survivors established a community known as African Town, an enduring testament to their resilience. Told through 14 distinct voices, this powerful story sheds light on a critical chapter in history and its lasting impacts.
