Cudjo Lewis, and More - 08/13/2010 05:49 PM
In 1928, anthropologist and novelist Zora Neale Hurston shot fifteen rolls of film of black communities , with the goal of turning it into a documentary.
That didn't happen, but some of the footage survived. Included in this six-minute film is a baptism, a very early version of break dancing, and Cudjo Lewis, a survivor of the last slave ship to reach the U.S. in 1859.
A historical artifact that is just too good not to pass around.
