Pop-up farmstand on Wednesday – and celebrating Emancipation Day in the USVI!
How well do you understand the meaning of Emancipation Day in the USVI?
“General Buddhoe was born on St. Croix [in] 1820… he was 28 years old at the time of the emancipation. …When Buddhoe was about 20 years old, he got arrested. In 1840, he was charged with “theft” and received 30 lashes. Then in 1841, he was arrested again for “theft and maronloben,” which means to become a maroon. Buddhoe stole food from his master’s kitchen to help an elderly man who was unable to get food for himself. With this act of kindness, it is clear what kind of a man Buddhoe was: A natural leader who cared for his people and who was incredibly brave to emancipate his people 176 years ago.”Olasee Davis in the St. Croix Source, discussing a new book ‘A Closer Look’, based on new Danish translations, by Kathleen D. Dowling
Hope everyone is staying cool and enjoying this holiday week, and basking in the many freedoms we currently enjoy; with the knowledge of historic times when freedoms were not secured; and rejuvenating ourselves in order to join the current movements to create parity and freedom for all people. We’re looking at some epic times ahead, so fuel up with healthy stuff.
