DISCOVERING AMISTAD

Discovering Amistad is a non-profit, educational organization that uses the 1839 Amistad uprising story and its 129 ft Amistad schooner replica as a” floating classroom “to address racial and social justice. The organization was founded in 2015, following a recommendation of the State of Connecticut Advisory Committee.  Since its inception, DA has provided educational programming to over 10,000 students through its proprietary curriculum designed to highlight lessons about justice, freedom, and human rights.

The organization aims to share the incredible historical event while bridging awareness into contemporary social justice issues. Students are assisted in finding their voice and seeing themselves as change agents and leaders.  Discovering Amistad is committed to facilitate inclusive education, generate courageous conversations, and mobilize agents of change.

The  presence of Tall Ship Amistad, CT’s flagship,  makes a powerful statement as it reminds us of how far we have come in the fight for freedom and yet how far we still have to go.
