Remarkable Museum, Well Worth the Visit
Africatown Heritage House的点评
点评：This impressive museum is nestled within America’s only historic African settlement -- Africatown, Alabama, and chronicles history important for all Americans. The exhibit focuses on the enslaved people transported on The Clotilda, the last slave ship. The ship’s remains were found nearby in the Mobile River in 2019. The displays detail the building, sailing, landing, bartering for enslaved peoples, and the clandestine return of the ship to Mobile, decades after slavery had been outlawed. Audio recordings at designated stops in the museum play portions of an interview with an Africatown resident who was transported on The Clotilda. The interview was conducted in 1927 by acclaimed journalist and author Zora Neale Hurston, and is, in itself, historic. The exhibits follow the lives of several other enslaved men and women who settled Africatown after being freed. Viewers learn about their villages, tribes, apparel, capture, mistreatment, and lives after emancipation. Many of the African pieces, and a slave collar and key, are from impressive collections including some from Yale, Harvard, New Orleans and Historic Mobile museums. Official maritime and port records, censuses and newspaper accounts on display document the events. Small pieces of the ship are viewed in a preserved state in aquatic cases; (the remains of the ship are still submerged for marine archaeologists to study). At the end of the exhibit, a film shows interviews with current residents of Africatown who describe growing up in the close-knit community. The staff at the museum are knowledgeable, helpful, and delightful to visit with. Photos are not allowed inside the museum but may be taken on the grounds and in the lobby. The outside grounds include a sculpture, giant chairs, and two gardens (one is planted with healing herbs and plants). The museum is appropriate for older elementary children, teenagers and adults. I don’t recommend the museum for younger children (who may become bored or noisy). All Americans, especially those interested in history, will find this museum educational, interesting, and well-researched. It shows the resiliency of the freed men and women who founded a historic community built on principles of helping each other, respect, faith, and family values.
翻译：这座令人印象深刻的博物馆坐落在美国唯一的非洲历史定居点——阿拉巴马州非洲城，记录了对所有美国人都很重要的历史。展览重点关注最后一艘奴隶船克洛蒂尔达号上运输的奴隶。2019 年，这艘船的残骸在莫比尔河附近被发现。展览详细介绍了这艘船的建造、航行、登陆、与奴隶进行易货交易，以及在奴隶制被取缔几十年后，这艘船秘密返回莫比尔的过程。博物馆指定站点的录音播放了对乘坐克洛蒂尔达号的非洲城居民的采访部分。这次采访由著名记者兼作家佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿于 1927 年进行，本身就具有历史意义。展览讲述了其他几名获释后定居非洲城的奴隶男女的生活。观众可以了解他们的村庄、部落、服饰、被捕、虐待和解放后的生活。许多非洲文物、奴隶项圈和钥匙均来自令人印象深刻的收藏，包括耶鲁大学、哈佛大学、新奥尔良大学和历史移动博物馆。展出的官方海事和港口记录、人口普查和报纸报道记录了这些事件。船只的小碎片被保存在水下箱子中；（船只残骸仍沉没在水下，供海洋考古学家研究）。展览结束时，一部电影播放了对非洲城现有居民的采访，他们描述了自己在这个紧密团结的社区中成长的经历。博物馆的工作人员知识渊博、乐于助人，而且很令人愉快。博物馆内不允许拍照，但可以在场地和大厅拍照。室外场地包括一座雕塑、几把巨型椅子和两个花园（其中一个种有药草和植物）。博物馆适合年龄较大的小学生、青少年和成人。我不建议年龄较小的孩子参观博物馆（他们可能会感到无聊或吵闹）。所有美国人，尤其是对历史感兴趣的人，都会发现这个博物馆既有教育意义，又有趣，而且研究得很好。它展示了那些获得自由的男女的坚韧不拔，他们建立了一个历史性的社区，这个社区建立在互助、尊重、信仰和家庭价值观的原则之上。
