A visionary leader and staunch Pan-Africanist, Garvey dedicated his life to the empowerment of Black people worldwide.

Through his powerful speeches and writings, he encouraged Black people to embrace their identity, seek knowledge, and strive for greatness. His legacy continues to resonate today as a symbol of resistance and hope for those committed to the cause of African unity and empowerment.

Despite Black Jamaicans forming the overwhelming majority, much of the nation’s wealth historically resides within a small number of families rooted in European, Middle Eastern, and mixed-heritage lineages.

  • Montego Bay Ascendant: Swallowtail Tower Tops Out, Cementing City’s Role as Jamaica’s New Development Leader

    Montego Bay, long established as the Caribbean’s premier tourism capital, is now boldly stepping forward to claim its title as a leader in integrated, high-end residential development. The city’s skyline has been irreversibly changed with the Official Topping-Out Ceremony of the Swallowtail Tower, the first of the four luxury residential towers at The Pinnacle. Reaching its final height of 28 stories, the tower now stands as the tallest building in Jamaica. Notably, even during its construction, the structure and its installed systems demonstrated absolute resilience against the fury of Hurricane Melissa, standing tall and virtually unscathed against the Category 5 winds. This monumental achievement not only solidifies Montego Bay’s structural progress but also signals its intent to become a primary hub for luxury living and diversified economic activity, challenging Kingston’s traditional dominance in non-tourism-centric development.
