Emancipation Day 2025 in ST. THOMAS

Описание: *In today’s Emancipation Day vlog, we commemorate one of the most powerful days in U.S. Virgin Islands history — July 3rd, 1848 — the date that marked the abolition of slavery in the US VIRGIN ISLANDS.* 🇻🇮✊🏾

Join me as we explore the significance of Emancipation Day through cultural events, historical reflections, and vivid storytelling. This vlog includes re-enactment scenes of the 1878 "Fireburn" slave rebellion and celebrates the strength, resilience, and pride of our ancestors.
