KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The Jamaica government has announced plans for the establishment of a National Museum of the Jamaican People. Youth and Culture Minister Lisa Hanna said the museum will be created as part of the Institute of Jamaica (IOJ). “It will be a space where our children will be able to learn the glorious history of this nation and register pride in our achievement and so develop new confidence and self-worth,” she said, adding that it will contain, among other exhibits, the artefacts from “our African Heritage now being stored in the IOJ, hidden from the eyes of the Jamaican people”.
