In keeping with the legacy after which we were named, Amistad, Howard University’s literary and art journal, aims to achieve and preserve cultural freedom through the vessel of creative expression. Our goal is to compile innovative and compelling works of different genres from a body of local, national, and international contributors of diverse backgrounds to ship to the masses. Amistad chronicles the journey from where we are as a global community to where we hope to go.
