In 1839, Connecticut\u2019sOld State House was the site of the first of the famous Amistad trials. Thetrials grabbed international headlines, but after the US Supreme Court resolvedthe case in 1841, the story faded from collective memory. In 1997, StevenSpielberg reintroduced the dramatic Amistad incident to the world, sparking newinterest among historians, educators, and the public. Since then, new researchhas shed light on the story and corrected some of the omissions and errors inthe public\u2019s knowledge. Tammy Denease, Connecticut Freedom Trail OutreachDirector, has studied the life journey of Margu, one of four children heldcaptive on the Amistad.
