The discovery has been made by an academic at Newcastle University
THE LAST survivor of the transatlantic slave trade has been identified.
Redoshi, also known as Sally Smith, is believed to have been the last surviving African-born slave in the Americas.
The discovery was made following research by Dr Hannah Durkin, an academic at Newcastle University.
Durkin’s research pieces together the life of Redoshi from her kidnapping in West Africa, through her enslavement in Alabama, and her eventual freedom.
