The Morant Bay rebellion begins on October 11, 1865, when Paul Bogle leads 200 to 300 black men and women into the town of Morant Bay, parish of St. Thomas in the East, Jamaica.
The rebellion and its aftermath are a major turning point in Jamaica's history, also generating a significant political debate in Britain.
Today, the rebellion remains controversial, and is frequently mentioned by specialists in black and in colonial studies.
