General comments:
The biographies on this page illustrate some of the wide range of careers and activities in which Jamaicans, especially Black Jamaicans, were involved, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many people of the period exhibited great initiative, courage and determination in pursuing their dreams and ambitions. It is good to remember them!
