Today is August 1, traditionally our Emancipation Day. Some Jamaicans had been uneasy that we might go into this celebration of freedom under a state of emergency (SOE). That cruel irony had not escaped them. We also celebrate our Independence this coming week. Our Independence Constitution is, in part, a document that establishes government to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens.
