    One of the last people born into (legal) Slavery in the USA died after being hit by a car in the 1970s.

    The last ship to (illegally) bring Africans as slaves to the United States landed in Mobile Bay in 1860. There are photographs of it.

    110 human cargo on an 86 foot boat.

    The last known survivor from that trip died in 1940.
