I have very recently begun to learn about some largely un-spread and unstudied American history, so I will share a wonderful name from what minimally I know!
[name_m]Cudjoe[/name_m] Kazoola [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] was the name of the last survivor of the last slave ship which docked in the United States, the ship [name_f]Clotilde[/name_f], in (according to his gravestone) the late year of 1860.
