He appears in a documentary titled “Descendants “ which is showing on Netflix. It is about the discovery of the Clotilda, the last slave ship to enter US waters in 1860 ( long after the legal end of the slave trade),which was set afire and sunk in the the waters near Mobile,Alabama. Cleon is seen wearing a Mets cap early in the film and is heard from near the end of this excellent documentary. Interesting interaction between the direct descendants of the slaves who were brought to Alabama on that ship and the captain who commanded the ship and the non participation by the descendants of the family actually responsible for the voyage. Cleon is clearly actively involved in the local community and the desire to get this story told.
Edit- my apologies but I am unable to correct the title of this thread . Obviously it should read Cleon Jones but autocorrect took over.
Re-edit. Fixed
