What Can We Learn from the Maroons?

A few hundred years ago, a group of ex-slaves challenged slavery, reinforced their own power, embraced autonomy, and made a mark on history with their will and tactical approach against external forces that were far more resourceful and powerful than them. They left the world with lifelong lessons on perseverance, bravery, and fighting for one's rights and beliefs.

The Maroons taught us the importance of standing up for our rights and beliefs - even when we are outnumbered; to believe in ourselves even when it comes with harsh blows. They have shown us the importance of holding onto one's roots even when the global landscape changes. They have shown us what the true faces of bravery and courage look like.

"Maroons would rather die than live in bondage."
