(1/3) Tomorrow marks 325 years since an enslaved Native man, Jamey, was imprisoned for avenging his enslavement by murdering his claimed owner, Thomas Bage. Enslaved resistance could come in various forms, and murdering one’s legal owner, while rare, was an important act of resistance.

Millions of indigenous people were enslaved in the Americas, including the United States. Most were women and children, in contrast with the African slave trade -- and evidence suggests such practices lingered into the 20th century. Two projects aim to tell the story. My article from @usatoday.com.
