“Many of us dare to believe that this country, so blended in origins, so fashioned in time, so wrought by our own history may go out into the world to make a contribution larger than our size alone would lead one to expect.
I believe that as an independent nation we can so manage ourselves as to demonstrate one day how by making our great motto ‘Out of many, one people’ come to speak the truth about ourselves, we can become a worthwhile and shining example of the sort of world men sometimes dream to live in.”
(From his address at the opening of Independence Parliament, 6 August 1962)
- Norman Washington Manley, born 4 July 1893.
National Hero of Jamaica
