Africa hero Queen Nanny

Queen Nanny

Queen Nanny was kidnapped from Ghana as a child and sold into slavery in Jamaica. After escaping a plantation with her brothers, she led revolts, helped free hundreds of slaves, and established a settlement
known as Nanny Town in Jamaica where slaves found refuge during British attacks. A Jamaican folk hero, Nanny is known as one of the earliest leaders of slave resistance in the Americas, and one of very few women. She is celebrated in Jamaica and abroad.
