Luncheon: Film Screening of 'How Do You Remember the Days of Slavery?' 

Saturday, March 15, 2025

A 20-minute documentary following Professor Vincent Brown, Charles Warren Professor of American History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University, as he travels to Jamaica at the invitation of the Jamaican Ministry of Culture, to speak at the island’s second annual Chief Takyi Day in St Mary Parish. The little explored history of Chief Takyi has long fascinated Professor Brown, in 2020, after more than a decade of dedicated research across multiple continents, he published his award-winning book, Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War, shedding crucial light on the brutally suppressed revolt which paved the road to abolition. The invitation to attend Chief Takyi Day was recognition of this work, in the documentary we meet historians, politicians, activists and perhaps Takyi’s most dedicated advocate, Derrick ‘Black X’ Robinson.
