Forced Immigration

In school we are studying forced immigration.  It is about the people on ships like the Amistad that came from Africa to America as slaves.  I liked reading the book, The Amistad.  I thought the study was really interesting, especially the part when we saw a PowerPoint about Olaudah Equiano. I learned that Olaudah was kept in jail until the ship came. We met c16ts’ dad who is from Sierra Leone.  He showed us pictures and items.  Well anyway, it was really interesting and educational.
