开始建造510万美元的阿拉巴马市非洲城欢迎中心,该中心由联邦《重建法》资助。 Construction has begun on the $5.1 million Africatown Welcome Center in Mobile, Alabama, funded by the federal RESTORE Act. 该中心将成为社区和参观者学习非洲城历史的中心,非洲城由1860年解放的奴隶创立,并纪念克洛蒂尔达的遗产,这是美国最后一艘已知的奴隶船。 The center will serve as a hub for the community and visitors to learn about the history of Africatown, founded by freed slaves in 1860, and honor the legacy of the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to the U.S. 该项目因官僚主义问题而推迟,预计将在一年之内完成。 The project, delayed by bureaucratic issues, is expected to be completed within a year.
