About the event

Join the Historic Mobile Preservation Society on Sunday, May 17, 2026, for an engaging historic presentation on If Not Now, When? by Clotilda descendant Darron Patterson.


This presentation explores a pivotal moment in American history and identity, reflecting on the nation’s evolution from a country that embraced the importation of enslaved people—including Patterson's great-grandfather, Kupollee, a Clotilda survivor—to the present day. It will challenge the audience to consider why the current path is unsustainable, how the legacy of the past continues to shape present realities, and why the future direction of the country rests in the hands of its people. 📅 Sunday, May 17, 2026

🕑 2:00 p.m.

📍 Historic Oakleigh, Cox-Deasy Cottage located at 350 Oakleigh Place, Mobile, Alabama
