"V" is for Vesey

The ABC's of February. "V" is for Vesey. Denmark Vesey was a former slave, a well-respected carpenter, and minister. He was accused, convicted and executed for being the ringleader of "the rising," a secret plot to rebel against whites in South Carolina; a plot that supposedly involved 9,000 slaves and more than two years of preparation. #bhm #onepointfivedays #ABCsofFebruary #denmarkvesey #kyletwebsterbrushes
