Celebrating Jamaican History Month- Jamaicans at Howard 1890 - 1940

More proof that Jamaicans have always had a quest for higher learning and traveled wherever they could get it. Undaunted by what was taking place in the South, over 118 Jamaicans of various shades of color paying their own way graduated from Howard University with varying degrees between 1890 and 1934. Join us as we discover with pride some of their stories unearthed and documented by British born Dr.Joy Lumsden, making Jamaica her home. She has passionately worked at braining this information to life, and has documented many other historical facts about the Island. She continues to discover important information about our history which is virtually unknown to most Jamaicans. It will be a labrish to make the Diaspora proud as we start the celebration of "Black History Month" here in the USA.
