Nat Turner was an enslaved preacher who, in August 1831, led a slave revolt that killed between 55 and 65 white people.
The rebellion did not discriminate by age or sex and the rebels killed White men, women, and children. Nat Turner confessed to killing only one person, Margaret Whitehead, whom he killed with a blow from a fence post. . . Turner said he wanted to spread "terror and alarm" among Whites. . . African Americans have generally regarded Turner as a hero of the resistance, who made enslavers pay for the hardships they had caused so many Africans and African Americans.
In 1988, Turner was selected for inclusion in the Black Americans of Achievement biography series for children, with the book Nat Turner: Slave Revolt Leader by Terry Bisson. The book's introduction was written by Coretta Scott King.
In 2017, it was announced that Turner was to be honored with others with an Emancipation and Freedom Monument statue in Richmond, Virginia. Created by Thomas Jay Warren, the state-funded bronze sculpture was dedicated in September 2021.

If a Black terrorist is honored among Americans and his story is worthy of a child’s schoolbook, should we be surprised if Hamas terrorists are honored among Palestinians or even the larger populations of Arabs and Muslims?
