We are the only race of people that are so forgiving to the people that hurt us most but so quick to take the lives of our own black people.. And this is not only in Jamaica. It's all over the world. We more hated our own black people then the people that dehumanize us So still holding on to the slave master coat tale.. What you think the so-called govern general is?
Sick and tired of our government who do noodles to persevere our history and to make sure our children get taught and to be inspired by the fight our ancestors had to go through to make us be free to of the struggles they went through this is so heartbreaking to see how those monuments are being neglected please Alex make sure you highlight this to the max watching from London uk and nuh worry mi deya thanks for this important video

Thank you for this educational video. I've spent my early years in St, Thomas, and had no idea about most of the information you have given. I agree with you, that every effort should have been made to document and preserve this history of St, Thomas, Paul Bogle and all those who fought for Freedom.

@@EliteJamaica it’s not against the law to live on the sites right. Yes but it’s being done. It’s not against the law for the people in those community to rise up and see that these things are being done. They should hold their elected officials accountable. Form community initiatives and get these things done by and through the movement of the people. I don’t accept your thoughts . That’s what has held down our people for years . Government this and government that. It’s the people that must start the movement and then with steadfastness the government will see the movement and join forces. What this blogger is doing is a movement. I achieved general one in history cxc; and yet still I knew nothing of these sites and information. I left Ja over 36 years now but I remember fully well in my community we got things done due to one man in Saint Mary call Putty. He died and the movement slowed if not died with him. One can chase a thousand and two can put ten thousand to flight. That’s why I’m so happy to see the diaspora with a more clear mindset to return to the land of their birth. I pray it’s to help build and rebuild and not tear down. Thanks i appreciate your reply. I have now a better Insite

Love, Honor and Respect to Paul Bogle and all the Black Freedom Fighters who fought for our freedom so we can be here today. Also, the jail cell is terrible and nobody should live in that. Yes, even the vault looks bigger than the jail cell. However, love you and that you so much for bring this great documentary of Jamaican Past and Black History.
Good day Alex and others on this platform ..It is good to preserve heritage sites .. They can be used for students to know a lot about their history
Preserving historical buildings is indeed a valuable way to honour a nation’s heritage and educate future generations. In Jamaica, there are efforts to protect and maintain historical sites, particularly those associated with national heroes like Paul Bogle. These sites are significant not only for their historical value but also for their potential to attract tourists interested in Jamaica’s rich history.
All these historical buildings should be preserved This is the first Iam seeing any such building You are doing a great job
Awesome work you are doing brother. Jamaican has so rich of history that many of us are unaware.
Heritage sites should be protected
Great job my brother honestly respect 🙏 greatness out there 💯

The secretary manager for the Parish Council office other parts of the council was housed on the ground floor to the back. The entrance to that office faced east and the accounts department was under courts office. Hence, the courts department didn't occupy the entire building.

Good work Alex. Big up to you and your team ❤❤😊
Alex, thank you for your investigative reporting. Your content is an eye-opener. Continue the good work! Blessings.
I started learning the truth behind jamaica's history by reading the journals of the plantation owners & their families that would visit. Also, doctors and authors that visited in the colonial years. You learn so much. You can't count on school to teach you the true history of any country, you have to look for it yourself. Jamaica's planter class were guilty of a lot, but there was also a mixed- black upper class that was complicit also.
These places should be better preserved. We didn't learn any of that in school.
Thank you for bringing these important stories to our attention.
Blessings Alex for showing this
Agree this is history ,we should preserve these buildings
Thanks for sharing and these sites should be preserved
U r a good man just keep up the good work god bless
You’re highlighting things that should have never been allowed to fall into such disarray and dilapidation. There should be directions to these sites along roads and highways. The sites should be maintained and accessible to all with the history documented on plaques with links to QR codes for further study. I’ve been watching the channel for a few years now, you should be getting grants from the government for your research and documentation. Bless up.
Aren’t those places historical and to be preserved as a treasure if it’s connected to Jamaica’s national heroes why it’s looking like that!! We should protect it like other protected landscape for history and maybe for authentic movie making
Appreciate your share as usual, Alex

Great eye opener. St. Thomas has a lot more mysteries . The Grandpa falls is not what we believe it is ? If we know the truth we would question the historical narratives. The house you are looking for was demolished and the area reset . When you know you know

Marcus Garvy said that without knowledge, our people suffer. Why has our history been eliminated and what is happening in our country?

We must preserve by any means necessary OR ELSE THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN JAH BLISS YOU MY DEAR BROTHER
Great video as usual. This should have been restored and not allowed to fall into ruins so we the decendants can see what our ancestors had to go through with the colonizers. “If you do not know where you come from you will not know where you’re going.” The government should restore these heritage for the people and even add it as heritage tourism. SMH
My father is a maroon from Moore town, I was born in Moore Town, my father told me that is 3 black Men dress up in woman clothes waited for him to pass by,they offer him the cane and as soon as he begin eating the cane they captured him and hand him over to the white men.

A huge shame on the Jamaican Government! If Paul Bogle had been a white man, those buildings would have been perfectly preserved and kept as shrines!
