IN 1816 Nanny Grigg and a group of other women, alongside Bussa in Barbados, took up arms to fight for their freedom. On 14-16 April, 1816, Bussa led the largest uprising for freedom by enslaved people in Barbadian history. Although not much is known about Nanny it is reported that she was valued at 130.00 pounds and worked on Simmons Plantation. Nanny was able to read and write and told her fellow slaves that they had to fight for their freedom.
