honor of the life and legacy
of the nation’s fifth Prime
Minister Edward Seaga
who died in Miami, Florida
on May 28 at age 89.
Born May 28, 1930 in
Boston, it is ironic the leader
of the Jamaica Labor
Party was born in the USA
and died in the USA.
He was born on May 28
1930.
Seaga has always maintained
that his US birth
was an accident because
his parents, Jamaicans,
were only visiting when he
was born.
He renounced his US
citizenship at a young age
showing loyalty to Jamaica.
He studied anthropology
at Harvard University
and published numerous
papers on Afro-Caribbean
folklore and obeah, a religion
combining Christian
and African rituals.
His political career
began in the late 1950s
and he won Parliamentary
seat in 1962.
He represented west
Kingston for 40 consecutive
years and held a parliamentary
seat longer than
anyone in Jamaica’s history.
He served as prime minister
from 1980 until 1989
and was the only remining
leader of his generation
to draft the constitution
when the island gained
independence from Britain.
Simultaneous to his
political career he will
also be remembered for
his impact on the entertainment
industry where
he helped to launch the
careers of Dennis Brown
— at age 9, Delroy Wilson
at age 13, Millie Small, Marcia
Griffith, Alton Ellis, Joe
Higgs, Ken Boothe, Count
Prince Miller, Jimmy Cliff,
Slim Smith, Desmond
Dekker, Winston Riley and
all who performed at his
Chocomo Lawn. He established
West Indies Record
Label, (WIRL) the first successful
record label in the
Caribbean.
Members of the public
are invited to express their
sympathy to the family by
signing the book weekdays
from 10 am to 3 pm
at the consulate offices at
767 Third Ave. on the 3rd
floor.
