Cudjo Lewis, or Kazoola, was the last survivor of the Africans brought to Mobile illegally as slaves in 1859. He is shown here in his house in Plateau, now Africatown, just north of the old city's center in the late 1920s. He died in 1935, never forgetting his African home or ceasing to want to return to the land of his birth
