Context: In 1841, A shipload of Africans are being detained in a prison after their rebellion on the slave ship La Amistad. The Africans were trying to return to Africa.
The sailors who were not killed in the rebellion, were supposed to take ship back to Africa. However, the sailors sailed the ship up the east coast of the US. The ship was commandeered off the coast of Connecticut. The Africans were detained in a prison until it was determined by the US Supreme Court as to whether they were enslaved or free. On their way to the detainment center, a woman handed one of the Africans a book. It is this book that the Africans are looking through in the video.
