The Center emerged as the first institution created to document the civil rights movement. With more than 10,000,000 documents, the Amistad today is acknowledged as the nation's largest independent African-American archives, as well as a leader in automation and advanced techniques. The Center also features extensive collection on Africa, other minorities, and the gay rights movement.

Slavery From Islamic and Christian Perspectives (book)

Published by: Vancouver Islamic Educational Foundation

ISBN 0-920675-07-7

"By the nineteenth century, there was another change of the people who took the leading role in exploiting Africa. The European countries themselves were not as active in the slave-trade, but instead Europeans who had settled in Brazil, Cuba and North America were the ones who organised a large part of the trade. The Americans had recently gained their independence from Britain, and it was the new nation of the United States of America which played the biggest part in the last fifty years of the Atlantic slave-trade, taking away slaves at a greater rate than ever before."
