ARC tells stories of people and organizations who fight for equality, freedom, and social justice. The Amistad's legacy is rooted in liberty. We share this legacy with you by providing public access to visitors from around the world. We are counting on you to take your place in history, so let's work together to ensure that Amistad continues to tell the stories that matter.
