Sometimes history is coy, and needs to be pursued. This is such a case.
Yes, it is a 208-page, B&W graphic novel, but I don't begin to consider that to be a negative! It's accessible on all levels, and this 67-year old white male living in the Deep South enjoyed it enough to give a copy as a gift to a friend.
Fun fact, the Amistad (reconstructed) came my Norwalk’s Oyster Festival a couple years ago. Wish I woulda gone thru the tour. It was a LOT smaller than one woulda thought.
Excellence, as usual!
I see you have a reference to a work by Ms. Rebecca Hall (and text), but may I suggest another?
"Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
by Rebecca Hall, Hugo Martínez (Illustrator)"

I have that book. It's actually based on her college thesis, which I've also read.
Glad to see the Amistad mural at my beloved Talladega College
Wow!! Thanks for retelling these stories in your way!!
