About this Event
Join us for "Black Resistance: Examples of African Rebellion," an online presentation celebrating Black History Month which is a great time to look at the rich history of Black resistance.
During the times of slavery, enslaved African did not surrender to oppression or just engage in passive resistance against slaveholders—they planned and participated in armed revolts. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, enslaved Africans and African Americans in the United States and the world staged hundreds of revolts.
Historically, this month is an prime time for African Americans to remember and honor the freedom fighters and martyrs of the Black freedom struggle.
“From slave rebellions to Black Lives Matter, the key to liberation lies in our history.”
- Cierra Chenier
Black people have been constantly subjected to injustice and the threat of domination, we have had to constantly fight and struggle for basic rights, our humanity and our dignity. Because history is so whitewashed, some people do not even realize that we have never been passive and compliant. Black men and women have always stood up in the face of tyranny, but these are not the stories that are often told.
Resistance signified continual deep-rooted discontent with the condition of bondage and, in some places, such as the United States, resulted in ever-more-stringent mechanisms for social control and repression.
In this presentation we will cover:
- Slave rebellions
- Armed Revolts
- The Haitian Revolution
- And So much more
Oppression is not natural but the desire to combat oppression is! We must continue to rebel strive for our liberation and teach future generations to do the same!
