Stono Week in Savannah: Drumfolk!

DRUMFOLK! Reclaiming Our Indigenous Power Join us in an evening of spirited liberation discourse with film, participatory music and knowledge-building, a countervailing narrative to plantation oligarchy, sentimentalism and terror. Be a bell which must be rung, a hammer-striker which must sound the alarm (or death nell) for any adjustment to customary apartheid. The 1739 STONO multi-state rebellion opened a gateway to long range, self-determined liberation action by a combined African and Native people. Jim Crow, 1828, dictated the places, faces and conditions made to perform + obey: obedient, celebratory, victimized and exploited. Say YES to escape, rebellion and freedom, LIBERATION!
