My Jamaican brothers and sisters,
This year we celebrate Emancipation Day amidst the challenges and hardships that we continue to face as a nation.
Every year at this time I can imagine and feel the excitement of our ancestors as they prepared for the August Morning, referred by our ancestors as "Augus Mawnin", that promised them freedom.
