Nat Turners is a radical icon in the struggle for African-American civil rights who led the rebellion of slavery in Southampton County, Virginia, In 1931. A descendant of Nat Turner, Bruce Turner, speaks powerfully of Turner's theory “That evil that he saw was what was needed to be destroyed. And the only way to force the destruction of that evil was to make the price so high that those who were practicing slavery would eventually sue for peace and say, ‘We cannot keep slavery because it will cost us too much.’”
