AFRICATOWN: UNDERSTANDING JUNETEENTH (E-BOOK)

What if freedom came... but healing never followed?

A deeply stirring and unflinchingly honest account, Africatown: Understanding Juneteenth traces the untold journey of the last survivors of the transatlantic slave trade—the men and women of the Clotilda—and their descendants who forged a legacy of resilience, resistance, and hope on the soil of Alabama.

In this prophetic and poignant work, Dr. Zoe M. Hoffman weaves historical narrative, theological reflection, and cultural insight to resurrect the voices of the forgotten and challenge readers to reckon with the truth behind America’s “second Independence Day." With scholarly depth and spiritual urgency, Dr. Hoffman unearths the pain, pride, and perseverance of Africatown, a sacred community born in bondage but rooted in freedom.

“This book stands as an altar... theologically rich, historically grounded, and culturally necessary.”
—Dr. Ludie L. Hoffman, Apostle and Founding Voice of Interfaith University

From the trauma of the Clotilda’s voyage to the triumph of communal rebuilding, this book illuminates the spiritual strength and cultural endurance that made Africatown more than a place—it became a testament to divine justice and human dignity.
