In announcing the competition, Brown Burke remarked, "Our black skin is the embodiment of the greatness, royalty and heritage of our forefathers, and this competition is expected to stimulate the creative thinking of our young and their celebration of our rich cultural heritage." She said the programme would help to reinforce, instill or re-instill racial pride in ancestry, history and courage. The Rt Excellent Marcus Garvey also served as a city councillor in the Corporation.Īwards will be made to the top five entries during National Heritage Week in October. The competition, which is sponsored by the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC), was launched on Marcus Garvey Day because of the date's symbolism. On Marcus Garvey Day 2016, Wednesday August 17, Mayor of Kingston Angela Brown Burke launched a poetry competition for secondary schools under the theme 'Proud of My Black Skin'. The project was recently recognised in the congratulatory message to Jamaica on its 54th anniversary of Independence by US Secretary of State John Kerry, on behalf of President Obama and the people of the USA.

This is to not only improve the music's international appeal and reputation, but also open up more and new opportunities for Jamaica's creative and cultural industry. In the context of negative international attention to Jamaican popular music, the goal of the programme is to build on a growing trend that promotes the humanity of all, underlined by important themes of love, respect, unity, and oneness. In his spirited welcome, FiWi Jamaica's music and cultural consultant Mikie Bennett explained, "We have taken a cue from our colleagues in track and field, where the culture of mentors and one-on-one coaching has mined gold, and will be training songwriters, performers, sound engineers, producers and managers." Bennett and project director, Professor Rosalea Hamilton, expressed their appreciation for the presence and support of several veterans of the Jamaican music, including Bob Andy, Pam Hall, Boris Gardiner, Leroy Sibbles, Allah Lloyd, Ibo Cooper, Clive Hunt, Stephen Stewart, Desi Young, Gussie Clarke and Lydia Rose.
