Westlake Porter Public Library - Dover Room

This movie, produced and created by award winning historians and filmmakers, explores the roots of the Amistad slave rebellion in Africa.

Can the roots of a 19th century slave rebellion still be found in modern Africa? What can oral history tell us about the enslaved who revolted against their captors? Ghosts of the Amistad explores Sierra Leone to discover the roots and local memories of the slaves who rebelled aboard the Cuban slave ship, Amistad in 1839.  Westlake Porter Public Library is proud to screen this movie followed by a time for discussion.
