Remembering the late former Prime Minister Michael Manley

Thursday, March 07, 2013

Yesterday marked the 16th anniversary of the passing of former Prime Minister Michael Manley who died on March 6, 1997. Family members and members of the Michael Manley Foundation gathered yesterday at National Heroes Park in Kingston, where the late People’s National Party president is interred, to lay floral tributes in remembrance of him. Manley was the fourth prime minister of independent Jamaica and is especially remembered for a slew for social legislation and institutions in the 1970s which changed Jamaica forever. These include: equal pay for women; maternity leave with pay; status of children (abolishing bastardy); national minimum wage, and the National Housing Trust. Here are some scenes from the ceremony:
