Apparently Zora Neale Hurston managed to get an interview with the last surviving man who came to the United States on a slave ship around 1930. After an 80 year or so wait, the book will be released May 8. Amazon will have the hardcover for only $14.99.
(and just to be 100% clear here, what's cool is the interview, not the man being kidnapped and taken into slavery)

Nice find, Bike! Even I didn't know this. Gonna pre-order.
At your service, sister. But I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of cultural appropriation and ought to be castigated for it.
