Keepers of the story
Charlie Lewis (far left)
and Lorna Gail Woods,
his great-great-
granddaughter
Oldest of the Clotilda
captives, Oluale,
who took the name
Charlie Lewis, settled
an area that became
known as Lewis Quar-
ters, where some of his
200-plus descendants
still live. “Stories about
the Clotilda were always
taught in our home,”
says Lorna Gail Woods.
“Africatown was a proud
place to be raised.”
