A forum for social and political discussion
The Honourable Michael Manley
We decided to build a Politics Page when we had to find some way of presenting a Michael Manley Page on Jamaica Today. Knolly Moses had approached the former Prime Minister with the idea on one of his frequent morning walks at the Mona Dam, near the University of the West Indies. He was flattered, and had his office send us a huge text that documented his major professional, political and personal accomplishments. We then edited that down to manageable size and put up the page.
The response was immediate. Our guest book was filled with positive comments about the availability of the information. Through his wife Glynne Manley, we learned that he was pleased with the page. We then decided to create links to the three political parties and to a page hosted by Minister of Commerce & Technology Phillip Paulwell. In addition, each month we would have an item in this space on national political developments. We also designed a Political Timeline page as a special feature for researchers.
The Honourable Phillip Paulwell, Minister of Commerce & Technology.
