Jamaica’s Birth of Independence - 1962

On August 6th Jamaica and millions of Jamaicans all over the world will celebrate our 48th year of Independence from Britain. Millions of Jamaicans who migrated to other countries before that Island wide celebration, when the Union Jack was lowered and the new flag of Jamaica was raised, will unite worldwide to reflect on what that symbolism has meant for our country and people. The labrish this week will present a recap of the Birth in 1962. Join us in the Backyard and share your stories and memories with the world as we prepare to celebrate in real Jamaican Style.
