Today, on Sam Sharpe day, we remember the defiant enslaved Jamaican who helped topple slavery in the British Empire. Sharpe was a Baptist deacon in Montego Bay, Jamaica, who traveled around Jamaica to educate slaves about Christianity, which he believed would liberate them from bondage.
In 1831, Sharpe planned a slave rebellion by which slaves would refuse to work on Christmas Day to resist the daily dehumanization they experienced. The peaceful rebellion turned violent as the slaves set ablaze the Kensington Estate Great House, amongst other estates, and killed 14 white people.
The uprising is one of the biggest recorded in Trans-Atlantic Slave History, lasting 10 days and mobilizing more than 60,000 slaves. 200 slaves were killed, and during the trials that ensued, Sharpe was sentenced to death. His final words embody the spirit of the many who perished in the fight to liberate humanity from slavery. Two years later, the British Parliament passed the Abolition Bill, and in 1838, slavery was abolished.

On this day in 1893, Mao Zedong was born. He brought the Chinese Communist Party to power in one of the most extraordinary moments in the country’s history. The peasant turned revolutionary led the Chinese Revolution, transforming the country from a poverty-stricken feudal nation into a socialist society. After Mao’s death, Deng Xiaoping led a coup that started the restoration of capitalism in China. Modern-day China now continues this legacy of revisionism by using communist ideas to disguise capitalist exploitation.
