Its purposes are: 1. to be clearly audible by the largest audience, and 2. to represent the message professionally to increase the perception of reliable accuracy. However, new age media has proven that a unique dialect representing your culture has greater mass appeal than perfect english, and the pros likely shadow the cons. Its a new media landscape with evolving rules.

Blessing bro, it's refreshing to hear Jamaica's history so profound and concise, great delivery, nice execution, I got a patriotic buzz being a Kingstonian and a Jamaican overall

Thank you for this beautiful passion project for Jamaica. The time, love and research is very evident in each video. You have left us all something to learn from and share into the future .

Thanks for watching

Thank you so much for the history lesson greatly put together and excellently delivered. ❤️💙🇯🇲💯

I went to high school in Falmouth. The first year William Knibb became a public high school. There is a ton of historic features in that area. I remember how the design of some of the buildings match those of old US cities like in New Hampshire. I used to look at the headstones in cemetery at the church in the square because of the old dates. I remember also that there were sugar mills built by slaves..one was on the William Knibb campus. Since Falmouth is such a historic town, would love to hear the history along with maps and artifacts.

I was introduced to your channel by my aunt, and I've been intrigued by your Awesome content that you share ever since. Thank you for always sharing. Bless 💚

Excellent!

Great content💯 It seems as if the people with the financially vested interest in the development of this new town "KINGSTON" was not happy with the pace of transition to "KINGSTON" as the new preffered town and went back to burn what's left of the then "PORT ROYAL" so that the Kingston investment could take shape a multiply......Oh well just a though and a slip of the fingers.😇

The only thing I would be concerned about is when Jamaica parts ways with the British Monarch if all the names associated with these historical places will remain the same.

It is painful that all the dates being mentioned here that Black people were not a part of any of those decision making! Indeed, up until 1838, our African brothers and sisters had been slaves and chattel in Jamaica! And after slavery ended, indentured workers from India and China were brought in to do the hard labour, thereby keeping the freed Black Jamaicans still desperately and frightfully impoverished!!

No I do research and put the facts together

The people did already turn Kingston into a city the government only certified it we made to all the Original Roads and Towns

What i do know , is that we need to do better.

An error in your reporting The capital city of Kingston is not only confined to the parish of Kingston. It straddles both the parishes of Saint Andrew and Kingston. Most Jamaicans are easily confused by this, which is odd. This is why the KSAC were merged to form one city, two parishes...smh 🤦 Eg: like Atlanta which straddles both Fulton and Dekalb counties respectively to form one city...🤔
