We drove out to Alex's Bar in Long Beach. Tim decided to play us a new song in the restroom. The song is called "Prosser's Gabriel". Gabriel was a literate enslaved blacksmith in the Richmond area, where in the summer of 1800, he led a large slave rebellion. Hope you enjoy the "5 minute history lesson".

Great song! Thank you for this song and helping to raise awareness. My family appreciate it. Gabriel Prosser is where my family tree starts because we can't found documentation of his mother or father. I will name my son after Gabriel... "Death our Liberty"

Best part is when he disappears at the end in some random door and everyone comes in who had to pee.

My history professor played this song in class, because we were learning about Gabriel Prosser, Solomon Prosser and Denmark Vesey.

Tim Barry is a man among boys. I love the powerful message of this song, and it's good to know people still read and are reading Howard Zinn (A People's History of the United States - Gabriel Prosser reference).
