Jamaica Independence History
 

Like any other country in 1929, Jamaica was experiencing a drop in its economic growth. The effects of this were starting to show in a decline of social conditions. In 1938 the labor riots were a turning point in the history of Jamaica and its independence.

The Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (BITU) was formed by Alexander Bustamante. This labor union was later to be involved with the Jamaica Labor Party. In 1938 Norman Manley, cousin to Alexander Bustmante, formed the People’s National Party.

Manley led the country to Self Government and later on Bustamante became the first prime minister of Jamaica.

In 1944 Adult Suffrage was granted giving all males and females over the age of 21 to vote. The first election held under the Universal Adult Suffrage was held in 1944 and the Jamaica Labor Party won 25 out of 32 seats.

The Federation of the West Indies was started in 1959 and Jamaica was part of this group. A referendum was called to determine whether or not the people of Jamaica should remain a part of the federation. The people chose independence.

In January 1962, a draft of the Independence Constitution was brought before both Houses and after a full debate was unanimously approved. It was also agreed that the 300 year old Coat of Arms would be retained and the Latin motto "Indus Uterque Serviet Uni" changed to one in English "Out of Many One People". At midnight 5th August 1962 the British Flag was lowered and the Jamaican Flag was hoisted for the first time. On the 6th of August 1962 Jamaica was given its independence. Sir Kenneth Blackburne was the last Colonial Governor and the first Governor General. Afterwards, Sir Clifford Campbell, formerly President of the Senate, became the first Jamaican Governor General. Jamaica today is a great place to visit for vacation and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
