The Amistad was the slave ship from Africa on which occurred a revolt. The renowned artist Hale Woodruff painted the Savery Library murals depicting the revolt of the slaves’ defense in the community courts, their return to Africa as free men and women, the Underground Railroad, and the history of Talladega College. The Amistad Murals are on the lobby wall of the Savery Library.
