Freedom Rides! Book Launch Stono Heritage Week in Savannah (1/4). Join us for a gathering of spirited liberation discourse in Indigenous participatory knowledge-building, and countervailing narrative—based upon 2 exciting new books by Dr. David Pleasant, Freedom Rides! Volumes 1&2. This 6yr long motorcycle quest, through multiple states, reveals the startling non-fiction legacy of regionally inspired Indigenous African and Native resistance to colonization, chattel enslavement and subjugation. It is an unrepentant liberation narrative of maroon, Seminole and self-emancipating people. The Sept. 9, 1739, STONO rebellion opened a multi-state gateway to long range, self-determination action: a combined force of sovereign African and Native people.
