The Key Sammie is the last product to be released in our Activist Range and is named after Samuel Sharpe. Sharpe was the leader of the widespread 1831–1832 Baptist War Slave Rebellion in Jamaica. He mistakenly believed that emancipation had been granted to enslaved people by the British Parliament and organised a peaceful strike across a number of Jamaican estates to protest working conditions. He was hung in 1832 for the uprising and it is believed that this rebellion helped catalyse the Slavery Abolition Act and later the Abolishment of Slavery in the British Empire. He was proclaimed a National Hero of Jamaica in 1975 and his image is on the $50 Jamaican banknote.
