Prior to interning with Grace Kennedy Ltd. in Jamaica in the summer of 2007, Toronto-born lawyer Anthony Morgan’s only identification with the Caribbean country – the birthplace of his parents – was at a superficial level through popular culture, food and religion.
He was a participant in the company’s birthright program that started in 2004 to help broaden the horizons of second and third generation Jamaican university students living in Canada, the United States and England.
Morgan, who two years ago authored The Universal Charter of Media Representation of Black Peoples, said he was transformed into a Jamaica nationalist and Caribbean regionalist through his experience in the program.
