Jamaica - Education in the 40s & 50s: The Way It Was!

Kingston College, founded by the Right Reverend Percival Gibson, first opened its doors in April 1925 with 49 students in attendance.

Rev. Gibson, born 1893, was the first person of African ancestry to be consecrated as Suffragan Bishop of Kingston in the Anglican Church. He attended Mico Practising School and in 1907 won a scholarship to St. George’s College.

This week’s focus is on Kingston College - KC, as it is lovingly called -  with special guest Mr. Carl Belnavis, a 1952 graduate.  Mr.Belnavis had an illustrious athletic career while attending KC, and will be sharing his memories with us.

If you are a KC Old Boy, you may know Carl, so be sure to join us and bring some friends as the Labrish continues in the BackYard, leaving a living legacy of: The Way It Was!
