The Africatown Heritage Preservation Foundation is dedicated to preserving the unique history and cultural legacy of the Africatown community in Mobile, Alabama, which was founded by the survivors of the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. Through various initiatives, including educational programs and community events, the foundation aims to empower residents and foster a sense of unity and belonging within the community.

Among its key offerings is the Annual Africatown Swim Program, designed for children ages 5-16, which promotes swimming skills and water safety. The foundation also engages in preservation projects, such as the documentation of historic cemeteries, and celebrates local traditions through events like the Robert Hope Homemade Kite Event, enriching the cultural fabric of Africatown.
