The guest speaker for the February 26, 2024 meeting is Kamau Sadiki, board member and lead instructor with Diving With a Purpose (DWP-divingwithapurpose.org). Diving with a Purpose is an international organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of submerged heritage resources. The organization's special focus is the protection, documentation, and interpretation of African slave trade shipwrecks and the maritime history and culture of African-Americans who formed a core of labor and expertise for America's maritime enterprises. Our guest speaker is featured in the Netflix documentary “Descendant,” which follows the descendants of the slave ship Clotilda, the last slave ship to smuggle African captives into the U.S. more than 50 years after the Atlantic slave trade was abolished. Join us to learn more about this historic work and Brother Sadiki's archeological endeavors and his journey that provides a sense of ancestral connectivity.
