Project Briefing

The Braeton Police Youth Club in partnership with the National Environment and Planning Agency

(NEPA) and The Institute of Caribbean Studies was granted approval by the Urban Development Commission to carry out a cleanup project at Hellshire Bay Beach in celebration of United Nations

World Oceans day.

The day's activity commenced as scheduled with 105 registered volunteers from 17 organisations,

working together to rid the debris from the beach. The volunteers also included Member of

Parliament for South St. Catherine, Mr. Fitz Jackson and the Police Youth Club Coordinator for South

St. Catherine Corporal Windell Reid. The total debris collected was 500 kilograms i.e 1,102.31 pounds.

This was confirmed by Mr. Ainsley Henry, Director of Applications Management and Dionne Rose,

Manager of Public Education & Corporate Communications at NEPA who carried out the weighing of

the garbage collected. The items removed from the beach included plastic bottles, igloos and unusual objects such as the front end of a car.

Transportation for the volunteers to and from the event was provided by the Jamaica Constabulary

Force for Portmore volunteers and an independent operator was contracted to assist the volunteers travelling from Spanish Town and surrounding communities.

Refreshments were provided by Rainforest Seafoods Limited and the club's Finance and Events

Advisors. Principal of The Little Ones Of Emmanuel Academy and also the club's Finance Advisor,

Sharon Golding, granted us access to the school's kitchen facility to assist with food preparation.

Chairs were loaned to us by the Braeton Apostolic Church and a table by The Little Ones Of Emmanuel Academy. These were transported to the event by a resident of Braeton Phase 3. A tarpaulin was loaned

to us by Dionne Rose from NEPA. Garbage bags were provided by NSWMA and the Club's Finance

Advisor and a box of gloves was donated by Red Cross.

Representatives from Jamaica Red Cross were on site and provided first aid assistance. Security was provided by the members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force who were in attendance.The event took

place without any incident and NSWMA collected the garbage for disposal.

WALL OF FAME

Sekou Toure (Stokely Carmichael)

Humble Strength

Stokely Carmichael was a U.S. civil-rights activist who in the 1960s originated the Black Nationalism rallying slogan, "black power."

At the time of the Freedom Rides, Carmichael was a 19-year-old student at Howard University, the

son of Trinidadian immigrants to New York City. Carmichael made the journey to Jackson, MS from

New Orleans, LA on June 4, 1961 by train, along with eight other riders, including Joan Trumpauer. Arriving in Jackson, the group was ushered by local police to a waiting paddy wagon; all Riders

refused bail. Carmichael was transferred to Parchman State Prison Farm, which proved to be a

crucible and testing ground for future civil rights movement leaders. Other Freedom Riders recalled

his quick wit and hard-nosed political realism from their shared time at Parchman.

The acerbic Carmichael would go on to become one of the leading voices of the Black Power Movement.

In 1966 Carmichael became chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and,

in 1967 honorary prime minister of the Black Panther Party. He moved to West Africa in 1969, and changed his name to Kwame Ture in honor of African leaders Kwame Nkruma and Sekou Toure. Later,

he traveled the world as a proponent of the All African People's Revolutionary Party. He died in Conakry, Guinea in 1998 of prostate cancer at the age of 57.

In his posthumously published autobiography, Carmichael spoke about the significance of the Freedom Rides: "CORE would be sending an integrated team-black and whitetogether-from the nation's capital

to New Orleans on public transportation. That's all. Except, of course, that they would sit randomly on

the buses in integrated pairs and in the stations they would use waiting room facilities casually,

ignoring the white/colored signs. What could be more harmless... in any even marginally healthy

society?"

It is said that these animals were most likely hunted to extinction by the Taino Indians.
