Mission Statement: Freedom Atlantic Tour revised

The purpose of the Atlantic Freedom Tour website is to educate and inform students, and those interested, about the Amistad history and the journey the boat will take starting in the Summer. Interaction will be important to keep viewers coming back. For example, e-mailing the student crew questions along with frequent updates will be available and be accessible through the main page. The site will also allow the students to track the ship on it's journey to important ports and then be able to access information on what events are planned regarding the Amistad and freedom of slavery. Information will also be provided on why a specific port is important to the journey. The site will also have external links that provide further information on numerous topics when necessary. There will be photos, videos, blogs, and other documentation right from the Amistad boat crew members. It will be a historical site based on the Amistad journey and bring awareness to a new generation. The structure of the site should be professional but appealing to students by using pictures and appropriate ocean colors and tones.
