I know Louise Bennet (Miss Lou)and Bob Marley top this list for putting Jamaica on the map. Let us not let their memory disappear from the pages of history. Jot the names of those you know here and what was their contribution.
Marcus Garvey - famous speech
A few words from the esteemed elder The Honorable Marcus Garvey. We have to understand our history and learn from it.
The Marcus Garvey Story
Although Marcus Garvey is respected as a national hero of Jamaica, no doubt he was an international influence.
Remembering Ms Lou.
Gone too soon
Some are our National Heroes
but for the other who did not quite make the list of hero or heroine, but were still significant.
Donald Sangster - The man on our hundred Dollar bill
I just heard that Alan Magnus has passed. He used to be a radio personality for decades on he infamous radio station RJR. I often went to school to his voice on the radio.
Another voice that grew along side his was that of Dorraine Samuels. These personalities will indeed be missed by older Jamaica.
you need to categorize this section. What do you mean by famous? Do you mean they were well known for good/bad; or do you mean those that actually helped the people of the island?
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide, I don't think any historical review of the island and its people would be complete without the mention of Marcus Garvey.
Thanks for your feedback
