Cudjoe Kazoola Lewis, known as the last surviving member of the Atlantic slave trade, sits smoking his pipe; 1900s.

Born in West Africa around 1841 Cudjoe was taken prisoner in 1860 and taken to the slaving port of Ouidah where he was sold to Captain William Foster of the Clotilda, an American slaving ship. He was smuggled into the United States through Alabama. Born free, smuggled across the planet far from home in chains, and living free again until passing away in 1935; Cudjoe’s life is an epic in itself worthy of a Hollywood film. Yet it is but the faintest tip of the iceberg of the countless lives caught in the slave trade. The things this man endured is almost unfathomable. Unlike most, his story ended in relative freedom but he could still not raise the money to return to his homeland.
