On this day in Jamaican History – On April 8, 1760, in St. Mary the Tacky Rebellion began. It was an uprising of black African slaves and was the most significant slave rebellion in the Caribbean until the Haitian Revolution in 1790. The leader of the rebellion, Tacky (Takyi), had been a Coromantin (a Fanti coastal fort town in the Central region of present-day Ghana) chief before being enslaved. – http://bit.ly/i5Gr8Q
It’s a dream but I couldn’t possibly get around without my ‘caddy’, and you would have to move back to Canada, er…make that Ontario…er make that London so That I could come visit. Billy G.
I grew up with similar conditions, but after WWII. Walking did not damage or kill me, even though I fell off the the donkey when I was very young. Walking is not only good for the environment, but good for your health. Turn off the car and do some walking. Walk good!
