All Honor To Denmark Vesey-In Memory Of The Charleston A.M.E. Victims


All Honor To Denmark Vesey-In Memory Of The Charleston A.M.E. Victims




As everybody hopefully knows by now the Charleston A.M.E. has a long and storied history around the balck liberation struggle going back to slavery times (in another building which along the way was burned down before its current incarnation). Below is a link to a program featuring the martyred Denmark Vesey who had his own ideas about how to end slavery. He might very well have a word or two to say about the South Carolina Confederate flag of slavery. In fact I know he would.
