 We
close this newsletter with another great article
from the first-class series "Pieces of the
Past".
"From Savannla-La-Mar to Morant Bay, from
Above Rocks to Port Maria, as the clock struck
midnight on August 5, 1962, the strains of our
national anthem were heard for the first time
while Union Jacks were lowered and the Jamaican
flag unveiled"
