On the morning of June 28, 1839, the schooner La Amistad set sail from Havana, Cuba, with cargo that included 53 Africans who had been abducted from Sierra Leone and sold into slavery in violation of international law. Unware of their fate and fearing they would be killed, the Africans revolted, sparing only two crew members to guide the ship eastward toward their home. After a two-month voyage on a zigzag course, La Amistad was finally captured at Long Island, New York, where the Africans were jailed and charged with piracy and murder. Thus began an adventure of immense historical consequences, with a legacy that continues today.
