Kudjo is written by Glennon after he found an old envelope that contained a story written in 1932, after his now deceased aunt talked with Cudjoe Kazoola Lewis, the last survivor of the last slave ship to arrive in the U.S. In 1860. The story was authenticated as written in Mobile AL, put into the old envelope in 1935 and not found until 1997, When Robert found it. He tells of how a $10,000 wager led to the Clotilda, a 2 masted schooner, being sent to Dahomey to procure 125 slaves. It returned with 115 slaves who were sold off then freed at the end of the Civil War. The Tarkar Africans gathered and built the only community in America that spoke pure African in the late 1860's. Cudjoe lived to be 102 years old.
