People's National Party

Yes

... of the PNP-

Mm-hmm

... call me, ask about this, and there's this factor which we didn't know.

And then August 6, 1962, they achieve independence.

I think the two parties at the time, there's the PNP and the JLP.

Norman Manley was from the PNP.

Alexander Bustamante was the JLP.

Bustamante became the first prime minister.

If I'm not mistaken, the...

Because I know Michael Manley was the guy in like the late during the Cold War.

He was from the PNP, kind of a social democratic leaning guy, didn't totally want to kill the Soviet Union.

Um, still, in the months leading up to the island's 1972 general election, the opposition People's National Party, PNP, created a weekly musical political bandwagon that toured the island from Kingston to Negril.

So many of the reggae acts on the show performed songs that were banned by the JLP government.

Then at this time, the government censored songs that they deemed pro-PNP songs.

And was using his very prominent voice, his poet's voice, to heckle the JLP, Minister of Education, the Jamaican Labor Party.

He, of course, was representing the People's National Party.

I know that you read a book to where you understand who these people, who these things are.

Oh, yeah.

No days in criminal prison.

And I.J. first granted withholding of removal because his, quote, mother, an influential member and organizer with the People's National Party, was murdered at her home in Jamaica because of her political activities, end quote.

And I.J. believed Mr. Jaquez in similar danger.

Still, his crime could be a particularly serious crime that barred him from withholding a removal.
