Backyardlabrish would like to recognize the dedicated work of Dr. Joy Lumsdenwho states: “Day after day, as I explore Jamaica’s history especially, though not exclusively, in the period between 1865-1944, I find many aspects of that history that seem to have disappeared – to have been erased, overlooked forgotten, and even rejected.”
Mr. Jim Russell was much more than Registrar throughout his professional life. Were it not for the efforts of Dr. Lumsden many of us would not know the extent of his contributions to our country and culture. This week the ‘Labrish’ will enlighten the Diaspora about Jim Russell’s involvement in sports, Jamaica’s friendly Societies, The Rio Cobre Home and West Indies Regiment Band (1926)
Please bring some friends and join the Labrish at: 8:00PM Thur:2/9/12 inthe Backyard where we, Celebrate, Enlighten, & Preserve the rich diverse culture of: Jamaica‘Land We Love’.
