Several persons were presented with the Sam Sharpe award on Heroes day Monday, October 19, at a function held inside the Montego Bay Cultural center in Sam Sharpe Square. Councilor for the Spring Gardens Division in St James Dwight Crawford cheered the function.
Reverend Marc Mullings from the Emmanuel Chapel said a prayer for the congregation. He was followed by Montego Bay’s mayor Leeroy Williams who gave the welcome speech, while senator Janice Allen read the opposition leader’s speech.
