Amistad Memorial, Bronze monument near City Hall in New Haven, Connecticut, US.
The Amistad Memorial features a 14-foot triangular bronze sculpture with three distinct relief panels depicting different stages of Sengbe Pieh's journey.
In 1839, African captives led by Sengbe Pieh aboard La Amistad gained control of the ship, leading to their imprisonment at the New Haven jail site.
The memorial stands as a testament to the legal victory of 53 Africans who fought against slavery through the United States court system.
Visitors can observe the memorial's three sides from ground level, while a fourth side showing hands in water appears from City Hall's upper floors.
The granite base contains the inscription 'Make Us Free,' echoing the words spoken by Sengbe Pieh during the landmark Supreme Court case.
