Have Fun.

Early this very morning I learned about the new monument to Denmark Vesey erected in South Carolina.  I learned that Denmark Vesey was a slave who won some money and bought his freedom.  Then he became a carpenter.  He made a good living and wanted to purchase his wife and kids, but could not. Over the course of ten years, Denmark Vesey planned a slave rebellion that would free thousands of slaves.  Sadly, some of his friends ratted out the plan and Denmark was killed by hanging along with 34 others.  There are people who are not happy about the new monument to Denmark, but I think it's important and overdue and helps us better understand our complex history.  It's high time to pass the word about Denmark Vesey, a free man who fought to free others.
