African Centered Education: Culture, Community & Maroonage
Dr. KMT Shockley discusses what we can learn from Maroons and Maroon Villages. Maroons are people of African descent who were able to escape from enslavement during the Middle Passage and create free societies that they enhanced and protected with their lives to ensure that they would never have to return to the plantations. Maroon villages still exist.
