The visionary behind this event is Carlos Daley, the organizer of the conference. His courage and unwavering commitment deserve commendation. It takes determination to convene a conference that fearlessly addresses the pressing issues of political corruption, crime, and poverty plaguing our nation while offering tangible solutions. The resounding message underscored the urgent need for Jamaica to extricate itself from the grip of crime, poverty, and political corruption.
During the conference, the JPM's manifesto was unveiled, outlining comprehensive actions to address these challenges. Details are available at Jamaicapatriot.com and on Facebook under the Jamaica Patriotic Movement.
Representing the Marcus Garvey Peoples Political Party, Presenter Heru Ishakamusa Menelik invoked historical parallels. He cited the example of the Cuban revolution, ignited by a mere nine individuals, to inspire hope that this movement (the JPM) could similarly spark a transformation.
The conference also showcased powerful women's voices. Human rights activists Cecille Johnson and Valerie Dixon delivered impassioned speeches. Johnson, who returned to Jamaica after 40 years, implored an end to divisive party politics. Dixon, author of "Too Black to Succeed," lamented the veil of secrecy shrouding the FINSAC financial disaster and report. She lamented that the truth would remain hidden, even with the shortened cover-up time, from 70 to 40 years, robbing future generations of insight. Added to that is the refusal of the government and educational institutions to give the green light to add her book to the curriculum.
Contributions extended beyond borders, as Cuba's Ambassador Fermin Quinones Sanchez and a representative from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela shared their solidarity.
Carlos Daley reaffirmed his dedication to imbuing Marcus Garvey's principles into education, honouring those who fought for black empowerment in Jamaica. The late journalist Eric Macko McNish was celebrated for his influential contributions.
In this chorus of diverse voices, the youngest presenter, 21-year-old university student Antwayne Campbell, echoed the call for teaching Marcus Garvey's principles in schools.
The conference resonates as a call for unity—a beacon guiding Jamaica toward a future grounded in progress, justice, and empowerment.

ReplyDeleteHonestly: most times people do not love change, worse if it is coming from a person that is not considered to be their own. They will not be too quick to response. It will be stoped! Blocked or put around the back. A lot of times, whenever things is not going right. They will not take kindly to another person giving brilliant ideas, much less to put it on book 📚 shelf. We need help right now! It can not wait! Our leaders needs to get the right people together to get Jamaica back on the right track. We are still giving God thanks for those who continue to shine for Jamaica inspite of all the hell we are going through.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather interesting that Peter Townsend from the NDM, and Mark Cameron from UPJAMAICA weren't mentioned ...interesting indeed

DeleteWhy not do something about it. Write a story about the conference. Send me pictures also. Why waste time criticizing what someone else has done when you could have done something yourself. Do not wait on others to do what you can do for yourself.
