Welcome to the Denmark Vesey Spirit of Freedom Monument Website
The DenmarkVesey & The Spirit of Freedom Monument Committee desires to create a Monument to recognize the tenacity and vitality of the spirit of freedom among African-Americans in the Carolina Low Country embodied in the efforts of Denmark Vesey and a number of enslaved persons to liberate themselves from antebellum slavery.
Denmark Vesey is best remembered as the planner of a Charleston rebellion of 1822, which led to the establishment of a military garrison to contain future slave rebellions.
