Amistad Freedom Schooner

The Amistad Freedom Schooner is a replica of a historic Spanish ship involved in a significant 1839 rebellion. Enslaved Africans aboard the ship revolted, seizing control and subsequently seeking freedom in the United States. Their case went to the Supreme Court, highlighting issues of slavery and human rights. Today, the Amistad serves as a sailing educational vessel, promoting awareness of the African slave trade, cultural history, and the ongoing struggle for freedom. It symbolizes resilience and the quest for justice, connecting past injustices to present-day discussions about human rights and equality.
