Show notes

In this episode of the Dis A fi mi History podcast, host Wendy Aris is joined by Murphy Brown, a passionate advocate for education and human rights, to explore the intriguing history of the Trelawney Maroons from Jamaica. The discussion delves into the Maroons' exile to Nova Scotia in the late 18th century and their enduring legacy. Murphy Brown, who prefers to be called Abina Agbetu, shares her personal journey of understanding her African heritage, and the significance of names in tracing family history. She vividly recounts the resilience of the Maroons, their struggles against colonial powers, and their impact on the communities they joined in Nova Scotia. The episode also touches on the broader context of African resistance throughout the diaspora, the challenges of preserving African history, and the importance of recognizing historical injustices. Listen in to learn how these stories continue to shape the present and inspire future generations.
