Delta Air Lines and Amistad America Partnership
Delta Air Lines was the Official Airline of the 2007/2008 Amistad Atlantic Freedom Tour. Through Delta’s generosity, Amistad students, crew, and ground teams were able to support the needs of the vessel and the Tour, making it possible for millions of visitors and students to learn more about the history of the slave trade, and the values that Amistad represents: collaboration, freedom and social justice.
