Fifth through eighth graders at a local elementary school waited outside to see the #SlaveRebellionReenactment pass by. Afterwards, the principal wiped her eyes and asked, “Y’all understand what slavery was? What was slavery?”

For those who participated in #SlaveRebellionReenactment, there’s still a lot to process after two intense days. For those who were not able to be there, much more documentation is coming. Check out The Guardian’s short doc next week, John Akomfrah’s official documentary later.

The past two days of Slave Rebellion Re-enactment were amazing. The people who re-enacted this history were inspiring and we created a liberated space. Honored to be amongst it. Some good coverage at nytimes.com/2019/11/09/us/…
