By the People / “Sara Margu: A Child of the Amistad”

As “Sara Margu” Tammy Denease portrays the story of one of six children stolen from the shores of Africa, who, along with 52 others, would be held captive on the schooner Amistad. Sara’s poignant voyage from childhood denial to adult autonomy, highlights this history as well as Connecticut’s. This program is part of the national By the People initiative, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
