The Jamaica Cultural Development Commission, JCDC, is hosting month-long celebrations to commemorate the 103rd anniversary of the birth of renowned cultural icon, Dr. Louise Bennett-Coverley.
The islandwide events to honour Miss Lou began on September 7 and will end on September 30.
They include exhibitions chronicling the life and creative works of Dr. Bennett-Coverley.
Acting Executive Director of the Commission, Marjorie Leyden Kirton, said Miss Lou offered an insightful, sociological perspective of the Jamaican experience in a creative and humorous way, adding that her works must be preserved and passed on to future generations as an important part of the Jamaican heritage.
