Amistad Memorial

It prompted a verifiably noteworthy United States Supreme Court case, in which the Amistad prisoners were ruled to act in self-preservation, in this way conceding them the privilege to insurrection. The Amistad Memorial in New Haven, Connecticut is a bronze figure made by Ed Hamilton to perceive the occasions of the 1839 Amistad Affair. The issue was an abducting of 53 Africans and their resulting uprising on board La Amistad.

The commemoration sits before the New Haven City Hall on Church Street, the area where the Amistad slaves were imprisoned amid their trial. It was devoted on September 18, 1992.
