@Regranned from @atlblackstar - Jamaica passed a National Heroes bill in Parliament to absolve these national heroes/freedom fighters from criminal liability: Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Paul Bogle, George William Gordon and Samuel Sharpe. ________________________ According to a press release provided to Atlanta Black Star by Ka’Bu Ma’at Kheru, these heroes were criminalized for their participation in the following rebellions and other acts of liberation in Jamaica: the 1760 St. Mary rebellion, 1831-1832 Christmas rebellion, 1865 Morant Bay rebellion and the 1929 Campaign of the People’s Political Party. #marcusgarvey #jamaica #jamaican #nationalhero #paulbogle #rebellionleearango123 - #regrann (at Kendall Square)
