#JAMAICA: Jamaica is to demand slavery reparations from the Queen as the former colony's government is set to petition Her Majesty for compensation to all its citizens. Merchants made a fortune as slave traders in Jamaica after it became a British Colony in 1707.
63 years ago today, Jamaica gained its independence from British after over 300 years of slavery and exploitation.
It remains as an independent domininon within the British Commonwealth and the King remains the Head of State.

Jamaica’s Christmas Rebellion
On Christmas Day 1831, 60,000 enslaved Africans in Jamaica rose up against their masters – the largest uprising ever in the British West Indies, and a milestone on the road to abolition a few years later.
