A harrowing journey is taken across the Atlantic. Oluale Kossula or Cudjo Lewis, his slave name, tells his story to Zora Neale Hurston. He recalls his suffering and life aboard the ship. His story comes to life after he had been freed from slavery and established 'Africatown' a place of safety for his fellow freed slaves from the last ship. The story tells how the slaves were sold by another war faring tribe into silvery, to be taken to a barracoon. This was a barracks for slaves awaiting their transportation across the Atlantic sea, to America. The conditions were deplorable and the mental and physical pain of the captives unimaginable. The book, called Barracoon, is the true story of the last 'Black Cargo' a group of captive Africans, and was published posthumously.
