: : :             TRENTON - A bill sponsored by Senator Glenn D. Cunningham that would increase the membership of the Amistad Commission from 19 to 23 members was approved today by the Senate.
: : :             "The Amistad Commission was designed to focus on the valuable contributions of African Americans," said Senator Cunningham, D-Hudson. "It is only fitting that the Commission include members who are actively involved in the law-making process."
: : :             The Amistad Commission was established to recognize the history of African Americans in the United States and to incorporate this history into school curriculums.

: : :             According to the bill, S-1159, the four new members of the Commission would be two Senators and two members of the Assembly. Currently, the Amistad Commission consists of 19 members, including representatives of the Secretary of State, Commissioner of Education and the executive board of the Presidents Council. Of the 19 members, there are 16 public members who have interest in African American history.

: : :             The Amistad Commission was named for a group of enslaved Africans who overthrew the crew of the Amistad, the vessel that was transporting them. The vessel anchored off the coast of Long Island, NY and the African passengers were put on trial. The case was argued by the Supreme Court, who granted the passengers their freedom.

: : :             This measure now heads to the Governor.
