Monday, 19 October 2009
Jamaica has secured the transcript of the trial of its first National Hero Marcus Garvey which took place in the United Stated in the 1920's.
Michael Miguel Lorne, Graveyite made the announcement while addressing a function held in honour of Garvey in Old Harbour, St. Catherine.
He said the transcript was received after the National Heritage Trust made a request to the US authorities.
"It's just recently that we managed to get a transcript of Marcus Garvey's trail. All these years, the United States kept it from us and we only got it because the National Heritage Trust wrote to them as a government agency.
"From the 1920's to now, they've kept it hidden so one day you're going to read it," said Mr. Lorne.
