This field trip will leave DC on a bus to the Nat Turner Trail, where Nat Turner led the revolt of the Black Liberation Army of 1831, in the fall of 1831 in Southampton County, Virginia. While at Southampton, VA, we will take a two(2) hour bus and walking tour, then visit at the Khalifah Holistic Health Retreat for a discussion about the tour and a wholesome lunch at the Nat Turner Library.
Nat Turner and his loyal soldiers (including women) strategized and executed a lethal blow to white slave owners and their families who had brutally and inhumanely mistreated the enslaved Africans they considered their property. Nat Turner and many of his soldiers were captured over the next sixty days. In the aftermath of the revolt, there was a blood bath against many innocent enslaved Africans before and long after Nat Turner's hanging on November 11, 1831.
The revolt stirred a fear unmatched in the hearts of whites throughout the country, especially in the south, and contributed to the urgency for a resolution to the slave horror that was the basis of the U.S. Economy.
Join us as we learn the true story of Nat Turner, while visiting the places where he was born, lived, worked and led the revolt that changed a nation.
Come to learn, heal and grow as a family.
