The 14th annual observance of the Nat Turner Slave Uprising was held in Newark on Monday at Nat Turner Park.
The event was sponsored by the The People’s Organization for Progress (POP) and the Friends of Nat Turner Park.
“We hold this observance of Nat Turner’s Rebellion every year because we believe it is extremely important to remember those people among the enslaved who resisted and fought not only to free themselves but sought to overthrow and destroy the evil system of slavery in the United States,” said Lawrence Hamm, Chairman, People’s Organization For Progress.
Nat Turner Park was officially opened in July of 2009. It is the largest city owned park.
Sunday marked the 192st anniversary of the Nat Turner Uprising, also known as the Southampton Insurrection which began on August 21,1831 in Southampton County, Virginia.
It is one of the most well known slave rebellions in the history of the United States. Scores of enslaved and free black people participated in the rebellion.
During the uprising as many as 65 whites may have been killed, and possibly 200 blacks. In the aftermath of the uprising Nat Turner was hanged and 56 other slaves were executed for their participation.
“Nat Turner’s Rebellion and the hundreds of other slave uprisings in the United States inspired and gave momentum to the abolitionist movement, led to the Civil War, and helped bring about the end of slavery in this country,” Hamm said. “We must never forget those who had the courage to rebel and fight against slavery. They gave their lives so that we could be free.”

As part of the expansive Fulton County, Georgia, indictment, attorneys for former President Donald Trump and the District Attorney have reached a $200,000 bond agreement.
Additionally, a $100,000 bond agreement was reached for one of Trump’s attorneys, John Eastman, while a $10,000 deal was afforded Scott Graham Hall, a bail bondsman from the Atlanta area who was allegedly involved in the theft of Dominion Voting Systems’ voting information from Coffee County.
An attorney for lawyer Kenneth Cheseboro also appeared at Willis’ office on Monday, Aug. 21.
According to prosecutors, Cheseboro collaborated with Georgia Republicans in the weeks following the November 2020 election at the direction of Trump’s campaign. Cheseboro worked on the coordination and execution of a plan to have 16 Georgia Republicans sign a certificate fraudulently declaring that Trump won and identifying themselves as the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors.
The cases have been assigned to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who signed both bond agreements.
According to AtlantaNewsFirst.com, the agreement between Eastman and the court includes a $20,000 bond for the sole RICO charge he faces. Eastman, a former dean of the law school at Chapman University in Southern California, allegedly was intimately involved in some of Trump’s endeavors to retain power after the 2020 election.
He argued in a memo that the twice-impeached and now four-times indicted Trump could remain in office if, during a joint session of Congress during which electoral votes would be tabulated, Vice President Mike Pence overturned the election results.
The plan allegedly included installing a slate of “alternate” electors in seven swing states, including Georgia, who would fraudulently certify that Trump won their states.
Trump, whom a civil jury earlier this year found responsible for sexual assault, and 18 others were charged with 41 counts related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
The former president has now been charged with 91 felony counts across four indictments in three states. If convicted on all charges, he faces more than 800 years in prison.
Trump and the others named in the indictment have until this Friday at noon to surrender.
