Morant Bay

Sure.

Um, one of the reasons why slave r- the slave trade, and then eventually slavery ended, was the rebellions that took place across the Caribbean, yeah? The biggest one was in Morant Bay, one of the biggest slave rebellions.

There were rebellions everywhere.

So it wasn't just simply a moral, uh, duty of Parliament or people.

But we have to emphasize, our great, great, great grandparents did the same thing.

they were always doing it so here we are now in the 50s in the 18 30s and 40s and 50s the first generation the first generation of emancipated people in this region demanded reparations they demanded land as the principal form of reparations All of those rebellions that took place in the Caribbean, we all know the famous rebellions of Morant Bay, Jamaica, Paul Bogle leading his people to the governor to demand.

This emancipation is not enough.

We want land to root our villages, to root our families, to have economic security, the right to vote.
