The Great Dismal Swamp hid people who vanished without a trace. The Louisiana bayou hid people who refused to vanish at all. In the 1780s, in the wetlands below New Orleans, free Black people built hidden towns in the marsh: a camp on the edge of a plantation and a deep-swamp town on high, dry ground, about twenty-one people from fifteen plantations, led by the man the records call Jean Saint Malo. They farmed, fished, carved big wooden tubs from cypress trees, wove baskets the Chitimacha taught them, and ran a trade chain from the deep swamp to the plantations to the Sunday market at Congo Square, with the money coming back to the marsh. Dr. Sylviane Diouf calls it a network of complicity: a secret chain of people helping each other. Spain answered with soldiers, and in June of 1784 Saint Malo was hanged in front of the cathedral as a warning. Act II: Internal Nations continues. If this episode moved you, follow Sankofa Chronicles — and send it to one neighbor who needs to hear it. That's how we grow this porch.
