Today is Emancipation Day in Jamaica, the day African slaves in British colonies received freedom from slavery.
So, here& #39;s yet another thread of vintage photos of Jamaica, this one highlights Jamaican joy!

Emancipation is different to independence (independence Day) this is about the freedom of African slaves...there& #39;s still much work to be done in the present day, but this is to celebrate our ancestors, our History!
