For Jamaica’s 50th: A Glimpse into the Jamaican Community in Atlanta

The community of Jamaicans was sparse when I moved to Atlanta in the early 1980's. So, for me, it could have been a lonely period of isolation separated from my own people for a while...a situation that was quite untenable. If I wanted to connect with my own Jamaican people in the metropolitan area, I knew exactly what I had to do, or so I thought: link up with a Jamaican organization.
