A good introduction to Jamaica is to visit National Heroes Park, where you can find monuments commemorating the most important persons of the country.
On the eastern side of the National Heroes Park, you can find a monument in honour of the Nanny of the Maroons, a female slave who fought the English with guerrilla like tactics and tenacity, as well as Marcus Garvey. Garvey was actually the first Jamaican to be proclaimed National Hero, because of his efforts worldwide to give black Africans, especially those living outside Africa, pride and honour. On the western side of National Heroes Park, you immediately see an arch under which the tombstone of Alexander Bustamante is laid. He fought for independence of Jamaica in the mid-20th century, as a labour leader and politician, and first Prime Minister of the newly independent Jamaica in 1962. Coincidentally, he died precisely on Jamaican independence day in 1977. A little down the lane, there are the monuments to Samuel Sharpe, a slave leader who resisted the slave system, was executed in 1832, but whose uprising directly influenced the abolition of slavery. Next to it, the tombs of George Gordon and Paul Bogle, contemporaries of the 19th century who are seen as precursors of Jamaican nationalism.
