The Stono Rebellion, a transformative event in the history of enslavement in the Americas, tells a powerful story of resistance and resilience. In September 1739, against near-impossible odds, a group of enslaved South Carolinians south of Charleston armed themselves and set out to make their way to freedom in Spanish Florida. This early-American story of rebellion, resistance, and resilience powerfully impacted the 18th- and 19th-century Atlantic world, and continues to wield power today as we seek to unearth the full story of African-American resistance to enslavement, and to celebrate the extraordinary legacy of African-American resilience.
The 2022 Slave Dwelling Conference, The Stono Rebellion and the Atlantic World, seeks to examine not only the 1739 rebellion but also its lasting impact—one that continues to resonate throughout the world today in the ongoing fight for racial and social justice.
