A bit of history rolled through the Happy Hill area today. Some dressed in traditional African garb
Others just drove. It was part of the Africatown USA Folk Festival motorcade. About two dozens cars drove around the area in observation of the final slave ship to land in the United States almost 150 years ago. Organizers say it's good to remember history.
“If you don't know where you've come from you don't know where you're going so it's very important to know about your heritage to make a successful life,” says driver Glender Montgomery. The motorcade was part of a whole day of events celebrating cultural history in Mobile County.
