Why many Jamaicans can’t go to the beach
Why many Jamaicans can’t go to the beach Baka Omubo 10 Views • 2 months ago

For millions of people, Jamaica is the ultimate Caribbean paradise. But for many Jamaicans, getting to the beach isn't as simple as it seems.

After spending more than a year investigating, ITV News travelled across the island to find out why communities say they're being shut out from their own coastline. From the famous Bob Marley Beach in Bull Bay to Montego Bay and Puerto Seco, we hear from fishermen, surfers, local residents, campaigners, lawyers, business owners and Cedella Marley as they debate who should have access to Jamaica's beaches.

Supporters of private developments argue investment has transformed neglected beaches, improving safety, facilities and tourism. Critics say rising development, historic laws and new government policies are making it harder for ordinary Jamaicans to enjoy the coastline they call home. We examine both sides of one of Jamaica's biggest and most emotional public debates.

In this documentary:
Why many Jamaicans say public beach access is disappearing
The battle over Bob Marley Beach
The role of tourism and resort development
Jamaica's colonial-era beach laws explained
The campaign to protect public beaches
Why recent hurricanes have intensified the debate over the coastline

GRANDASSA MODELS - HOW A FASHION SHOW LAUNCHED A MOVEMENT Angela Malele 48 Views • 3 years ago

Marcus Garvey is credited with coining the phrase “Black is beautiful.” During the 1920s the Pan Africanist leader adopted the term. Garvey encouraged Black women to embrace their natural hair and features. He said, “Don’t remove kinks from your hair. Remove them from your brain.” He believed that attempting to follow white Eurocentric standards of beauty denigrated the beauty of Black women. The concept of Black being beautiful waned and almost died after Garvey was deported and then with his death.
The Black is Beautiful movement was a powerful cultural and social movement that reemerged during the 1960s and 1970s. The term “Black is Beautiful,” usually evokes memories and/visions that might fill your head full of afros, blaxploitation films, Black empowerment, civil rights movements, and black fists held in the air. In 1962, a photographer, a group of models and a fashion show in Harlem would kick-start a cultural and political movement.
In late January 1962, a group of artists known as the African Jazz-Art Society & Studios staged a fashion show in Harlem that would change American culture forever.
