Email: Lanzojm@outlook.com or Lanzojm@hotmail.co.uk NOTICE OF ADJOURNED HEARING FROM SAVANNA-LA-MAR to Morant Bay, from Above Rocks to Port Maria, as the clock struck midnight onAugust 5, 1962, the strains of our national anthemwere heard for the first time while Union Jacks were loweredandthe Jamaican flagunveiled. Ceremonies took place in parish capitals across the island. In many cases, fireworks lit up the skies punctuating the August 6 birth of the Dominion of Jamaica. At the National Stadium, then PrimeMinister Sir Alexander Bustamante, deckedout in formal wear, presidedover what was described as a stirring event. “The entire eveningwas just tremendous,” said statesman Hector Wynter, enthusiastically recounting the shared excitement and delight that reverberated through the packed stadiumwhere over 20,000 people proudly joined in the celebration of the movement from colonialism to self-government. Kingston and all other parish capitals were resplendent with flags and buntings, and many civic and social events took place, including dancing in the streets, maypoles in town squares, jonkonnu, bonfires, float parades overflowing with beauty queens, as well as tree planting and religious ceremonies. SOUVENIRS Lola Ramocan, recalled how, as a teenager she, likemany of the people in her home parish of Clarendon, dressed in the colours of the flag and crowded into the town centre to celebrate. There were treats for the children and the elderly, and commemorative cups and plates were distributed. “What wonderful souvenirs these made,” Ramocan said with a smile, “having one was like holding onto a piece of history.” Theodore Sealy was appointed chairman of the Independence Committee which was charged with choosing the island’s national symbols, flag, and anthem. HectorWynter, who, like all sitting senators at the time, had theopportunity to serveon this committee, remembered that experience as a smooth process in which all were unitedby enthusiasm. As it turnedout,Wynter recalled,“the colour choice anddesign for the flagproceeded quite smoothly. The only hitch was that our initial design was apparently very similar to that chosenbyTanganyika. So wemade our gold saltire cross broader.” Wynter added,“itmay remind youof the Union Jack indesign as bothhave saltire crosses, but our vibrant colours – thegold set against black and green triangles – made it our own.” Our anthemwasmarried to thewords of the Reverend Hugh Sherlock to the music of Hon Robert Lightbourne, both of whichwere chosen out of many anonymous entries submitted in a public contest. The 300-year-old coat of arms was retained but a newmotto –‘Out of Many, One People’– a reminder that the nation is composed of people of many races who have long lived and worked in harmony, was added. THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT On August 7, 1962 - which had also been declared a holiday - the first session of Jamaica’s Parliament took place. Princess Margaret, wished Jamaica well on behalf of her sister, the Queen, and handed over the constitutional documents to Sir Alexander Bustamante. She said she was proud to be associated with this event andwelcomed the new nation to the Commonwealth Family. INDEPENDENCE ADDRESSES Bustamante, responding to Princess Margaret and addressing Jamaicans at home and abroad as the island’s first prime minister, cautioned on that same August 7 morning: “Independence means the opportunity for us to frame our own destiny and the need for us to rely on ourselves in so doing. It does not mean a licence to do as we would like. It means work and law andorder. Letus resolve tobuilda Jamaica whichwill last andofwhichweandgenerations tocomewill beproud, remembering that, especially at this time, the eyes of the world are upon us.” Bustamante’s messagewas alsocarried ina special supplement in the New York Times commemorating Jamaica’s independence. Norman Manley, then leader of the Opposition, also reminded the nation: “We stand here today surrounded by an unseen host of witnesses - who through all our history strove to keep alight the torch of freedom - and what of the future? We have come to Independence prepared and ready to shoulder our new responsibilities and united, I believe, in one single hope that wemaymake our small country a safe and happy home for all our people.” The themes of both of these addresses and those of many others given that day and on countless anniversaries can aptly be summed up in the words of our national anthem – described by Sherlock and Bennett (1998) as“a prayer of a small, newly independent nation for guidance and protection for themselves and for the island they love”. – Rebecca Tortello Birth of Independence The commemorative cup thatwas given inhonour of thenation’s first Independence celebration, in 1962, to 74-year-old Daphne Robinson of Kilmarnock, Westmoreland.
