A good introduction to Jamaica is to visit National Heroes Park, where you can find monuments commemorating the most important persons of the country.
After walking through a rather sketchy neighbourhood, I arrived at the eastern side of National Heroes Park. I bought some small and tasty mangoes before entering through a hole in the fence. Formerly the place of horse races and official celebrations, and the site of the Smile Jamaica Concert in 1976, in which Jamaican superstar Bob Marley performed despite being shot two days earlier, this place between uptown and downtown Kingston was declared the National Heroes Park in 1962. I walked to what looked like a monument, and found out I had arrived at the tomb of Donald Sangster, a politician of humble origins who briefly was Prime Minister in 1967, and who died unexpectedly after just a few months in office. The monument, four white bows pointing upwards and wider at the top than at the base, symbolize the simple origins of Sangster and the unaccomplished nature of his career. Close to it, I also found the monument for Michael Manley, former Prime Minister as well, serving several terms. An eloquent speaker, and son of a former Prime Minister, some quotes expressing his views of equality are engraved on the black Jamaican marble monument at his tombstone.
