Great Lives: Bonnie Greer on the Morant Bay Women

Bonnie Greer joins Matthew Parris to make a case for seven women from Jamaica who were hung or shot in 1865 after the Morant Bay Rebellion. Bonnie makes a case that this uprising was a pivotal event not only in Jamaican history, but in the history of the entire Caribbean region, Britain and the world. Bonnie wants to rectify the fact that the seven women who were killed in the aftermath have been largely forgotten, whilst their leaders - Paul Bogle and George William Gordon - are National Heroes of Jamaica
