A proposito di questo titolo

In 1865, a small protest over legal injustice in the parish of St. Thomas-in-the-East escalated into Jamaica's most consequential rebellion after emancipation. This episode follows the story of Paul Bogle, a Baptist deacon and landholder who led hundreds of poor Black farmers to the courthouse in Morant Bay after a trial denied them justice. When the authorities fired on the crowd, the rebellion erupted, leading to the deaths of over 400 Black Jamaicans, the brutal execution of Bogle and George William Gordon, and the shocking end of Jamaica's colonial assembly. We explore the roots of the rebellion in land dispossession and harsh vagrancy laws, the violent suppression by Governor Edward John Eyre, the controversial royal commission that followed, and how this uprising reshaped Jamaica's political future. Featuring the Morant Bay courthouse, the Bogle family, the Stoney Gut community, and the shifting policies of Crown colony rule.
