Former MLB Player Cleon Jones on His Hometown Revitalization Efforts

June 5, 2023

After an impressive major league baseball career that included a World Series win, left fielder Cleon Jones retired to his hometown in Alabama: Africatown, a Mobile neighborhood. Famous for being home to Clotilda, the last slave ship to arrive illegally in 1860, the community suffered through neglect and disinvestment for many years. Now, Jones and his wife Angela are hoping to change that – working to create a space worthy of its residents.
