(1857, Samson) The Bone Breaker of Little Rock: Slave Who Snapped His Master's Neck on Thanksgiving

Description

In 1857 Arkansas, a man named Samson—enslaved, feared, and brutally exploited—became known as “The Bone Breaker of Little Rock.” On Thanksgiving Day, the violence of slavery reached a breaking point when Samson killed his enslaver by snapping his neck, shocking the South and leaving a grim mark on American history.

This video explores the historical context of slavery-era Arkansas, the mythology and reality surrounding Samson, and the extreme brutality that shaped acts of resistance. It is not a glorification of violence, but a sober examination of how oppression, fear, and dehumanization created moments that history often tries to forget.
