Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join your Griot, Amon Mazingo, as we navigate through the powerful and poignant tale of Nat Turner, a man whose desire for freedom ignited a rebellion that shook the foundations of slavery in America. In this episode, we explore Turner's early life, his prophetic visions, and the events leading up to the fateful insurrection of August 22, 1831. As we delve into the complexities of his character, we uncover the motivations behind his actions and the societal reactions that followed. The narrative reveals the struggles for liberation faced by enslaved people and the enduring legacy of Turner's fight for justice.
