Former president John Quincy Adams came out of retirement to argue the Supreme Court case that ultimately set them free. Illustrations., AMISTAD CAPTIVES VICTORY JUSTICE TRIUMPHANT trumpeted the March 13,1841, headline of The Colored American,one of the first U.S. newspapers published and edited by African Americans.
