Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" is a non-fiction work by Zora Neale Hurston. It is based on her interviews in 1927 with Oluale Kossola (also known as Cudjoe Lewis) who was presumed to be the last survivor of the Middle Passage.
In the late 1920s, Hurston traveled from New York to Mobile, Alabama to conduct a series of interviews with Cudjo Lewis (whose African name was Kossola) who is believed to have been the last surviving African of the last American slave ship, Clotilda. Hurston tells the story as he told it to her, in his own dialect, which authenticates the story.
