Join us for a presentation with Honorable Dennis J. Curran, Justice, Massachusetts Superior Court (ret.)via ZOOM.

This is the first civil rights trial in American history, arising out of a slave revolt that captured a Spanish ship in the Caribbean Sea, a story that finally received recognition from Stephen Spielberg's Academy Award-nominated feature film.

The issues of slavery versus freedom, the President against his own Secretary of State, and the American government versus the Spanish government, rear their ugly head in this American court case, more than two decades before the Civil War explodes in 1861.
