Reminder to self: Our not so distant relatives did not enjoy the luxury of visiting Jamaica as a Tourist destination. They were captured and trafficked to this island Colony of Jamaica, tortured and deprived of dignity and humanity before we were mistaken as ‘squatters.’ Former plantation owners and their descendants were given reparations by England up until the year 2015 to compensate for the loss of profits after Slavery was abolished in the late 1800’s. Formerly enslaved Africans were given nothing. Landless-ness in Jamaica is not a result of poverty. It is a mandate built into the construct of an ‘independent’ former colony in the West Indies. Our work cannot stop at care packages. There are laws and policies that deny our people the ability to recover. This Hurricane has exposed Jamaicans to Jamaica in a different way. I hope we are paying attention. Full Docu-series on DSE Jamaica YouTube. Link in bio. If you don’t document it, it doesn’t live. History will remember this time. 🇯🇲 #Westilldehya #Landforliberation #Tellthechildrenthetruth
