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

Derrick Wright — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:30:02 UT

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.
