In 1992, the150th Anniversary of the Amistad Revolt was simultaneously commemorated both in Freetown, Sierra Leone and New Haven in the United States. On this occasion, I enjoyed an exciting entertainment programme in Freetown by a group of African-American who traveled all the way from Connecticut to jointly celebrate the event while the Sierra Leone National Dance Troupe for Amistad Festival, were in New Haven performing a similar programme to mark the same occasion.
