FIRST ANNUAL COMMEMORATION OF

NAT TURNER’S SLAVE REBELLION

At 1:00 PM on Saturday, August 21, the People's Organization for Progress, together with the Friends of Nat Turner, will celebrate the 179th Anniversary of the slave rebellion which Turner led in South Hampton County , Virginia in 1831. During Turner's uprising on August 21, he and his supporters killed 56 slave owners and their murderous henchmen, marking the revolt as the rebellion with the highest number of white fatalities in the Antebellum South.

 "Nat Turner Park in Newark is certainly unique in honoring this important battle against oppression in our history," Larry Hamm, chairman of the People's Organization for Progress explained. "We have an obligation to make certain that our young people know the full story of this heroic insurrection," he added.

"We look forward to making this a yearly event, especially with the 180th anniversary fast approaching in 2011."
