A Sankofa Circle Class on Resistance, Betrayal & The Strength of a People

Jamaica’s fight for freedom didn’t end with Queen Nanny—it was just beginning.

In this gripping class, scholars will explore the final battles against European invaders, how the Taino people resisted colonization, and the brutal realities of betrayal and survival. We’ll uncover how the Spanish and British fought over Jamaica, the enslaved Africans who refused to submit, and the warriors who continued to resist, rebuild, and reclaim their identity.

From Taino leaders who saw the danger ahead but were ignored to the arrival of the Spanish and British, who used deception and destruction to take control, this class will reveal the hidden history of Jamaica’s last stand against colonization.

Here’s What You Will Learn:

✅ The Taino’s Last Resistance – How they fought back against the invaders and refused to be erased.
✅ The Spanish vs. The British – How European powers fought over Jamaica and how the people suffered in between.
✅ The Role of Betrayal – How some leaders saw the warning signs but were silenced, leading to devastating consequences.
✅ Jamaica’s Legacy of Strength – How the spirit of resistance led to the Maroons, Marcus Garvey, and the fight for independence.

This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a story of resilience, resistance, and the determination to survive.
