Prime Minister to instruct MOE - teach Garvey in schools!

[Westman]

Excuse me please. I remember Bredda Robbi (Pastor Robinson), Mrs Charlton and Mrs Hyacinth Ford teaching me about Garvey at Cornwall College. Bredda Robbi was a short pastor from one of the local churches. He taught history and geography to the lower forms. He was passionate about topics such as Garvey. Mrs Ford taught Geography throughout and history to lower forms. Mrs Charlton taught history and English throughout. Thank you.

[Willi]

and to what end result
was that? see it's time release ourselves from the hsackle of mental slavery. It's time we can look and greet each other as Jakans not say ah I'm better because I live in di east or because I attended one of the master's school.

Anyway, thanks for your contribution Scaly.

Well at StGC we were never encouraged to think we were "better" than anyone and certainly not inferior.

I have no "problem" with anybody who went to a different school.

First off, I am not from Kingston. I am proudly from the old Capital.

2nd, I have always felt that StGC was the best school for me and I am immensely proud of my time there.

Feeling superior??? Where did you get that from? Did you read my post before?

[Jawge]

What master are you talking about?

Do you know any of the history of StGC?? You need to go do YOUR research.

You need to understand that Catholics were not considered mainstream until recently in Jamaica.

[Jawge]

So Catholics weren't
part of the masters? Educate me, thanks.

In a word...no!

About StGC, go try find out why it was the first school to allow a dreadlocked student (Murray). This influenced the Marleys to send their boys there.

[Jawge]

When did Murray attend Geroge's?

[Willi]

Due to hostilities between Britain and Spain...Catholics were not allowed back into Jamaica in an organised way until after 1850.

Jamaica was very open to Jews after the inquistion and Span town had up to 4 Jewish cemetaries.

Unno all know Spanish Town as an out of control mega Ghetto. I tell you, we have forgotten who we are.

Early to Mid 1970s.
