Place
United Church on the Green

Roger Sherman Baldwin, a member of North Church and a New Haven attorney, offered his legal services to the captives. Over the course of two years, Baldwin successfully defended the Africans' right to freedom. Today a plaque within the church, dedicated to Baldwin and his father's memory, commemorates the active role this congregation member played during the Amistad Incident.
This is just one of many places associated with the Amistad event. To learn more about other places, please access the main Visit page of this itinerary.
