Independence memorabilia
WHEN JAMAICA was granted self-government on August 6, 1962, several pieces of memorabilia were issued to citizens of all ages across the country.
Children attending primary, all-age, junior high and high schools were given cups and flags. Several adults, such as government officials, also received memorabilia, like side plates and coffee mugs, in honour of the island's Independence.
Today, Raymond McDonald, 56. cherishes his cup and saucer he received at about age 12 while attending school. His memory is as vivid as the day he queued with his schoolmates and was given the porcelain white cup and saucer engraved with the coat of arms.
