The lives of the Jamaican slaves were about to change. The long-expected moment they all yearned for had arrived. After years of struggle and sacrifice under the dehumanizing slave regime, they were finally able to dismantle the oppressive system.
Then reality set in. The newly freed population’s initial reaction of euphoria quickly dissipated when they realized the monumental challenges ahead of them. Their future looked bleak. How would they survive? How were they to deal with the obstacles that they would encounter while desperately clinging to their ancestral heritage?
Although the blood of determination and resistance ran in their veins, despair now threatened to overwhelm and engulf them. Will they give in to their despondency or can they grasp the opportunity presented to them and forge new paths, while building on the foundations left by their heroic ancestors?
Was such a herculean task possible?
