    Decades after the international slave trade had been outlawed, a sailboat arrived to the U.S. with 110 slaves​. The​ crew ​unloaded them and set the boat on fire​.​ ​Evidence of their voyage and the ship were​ never to be found.​ ​Until now.http://nyti.ms/2F9tIvl

        Could this have been the ancestors of Jeff Sessions and Roy Moore, perhaps George Wallace?

        This is why I subscribe to the NYT - so interesting and informative. Unlike some opinion pieces that involve the writer going through great contortions to blame Trump for everything.

        Is this the ship referenced in episode of ‘FINDING YOUR ROOTS’ @questlove ? I ❤️ PBS’s ‘FINDING YOUR ROOTS’ Little, unknown details of history can be learned from each episode. If you get a chance, view this series.
