On November 5, 1843, an enslaved woman named Carlota Lucumi, also known as La Negra Carlota de Cuba, led an uprising at the Triunvirato sugar plantation, located in Matanzas, Cuba. The uprising became known as the Triunvirato Rebellion, and inspired further rebellions among the enslaved in Cuba. Carmen shares the story of Carlota Lucumi and at the end, Cristina shares a brief Bukele update.
