Speaking of Emancipation Day.....no one has ever been able to explain the origin of the expression "Free Papah Bun."

Is it referring to "manumission documentation". Was there an actual document that free Blacks carried during slavery? Did people try to destroy the papers and claim that the individuals were slaves.

I have 5 thories

1. The Sam Sharpe Rebellion... therewas a beleif that kicked off that particular war that emancipation was granted by the monarchy and taken away by the Jamaican legistlature...

2. An Ironic reference to the impostion of the aprentiship system in 1834.... ie the slaves had to work I beleive 40 hours a week for their masters...

3. A reference to the burning of the contract for indentured servants by the planters to retain their services...or the burning of the papers of the WIR slaves and re enslave them..

4. or the shouts of joy the slaves would have made when they heard that the Maroons were shipped to Kanada...

5. I think there may have been a line in the letter that the Baptist mininsttre sent to Queen Victoria that led to the Underhill letter... or a line in a Bogle petition...

But I dont have a u tube video or web site to reinformce these theories....and unno know mi is a stupid sell out taino....

A couple comments.. there were multiple emancipation events in Jamaican history....

De lassie granted freedom to all africans and acknowledge the freedom of the maroon and Taino groups in 1656 or 1658
De Bolas and his group were granted emancipation and a land grant..
The windward and Leeward groups of Maroons were granted seperate emancipations..
Nanny Group was given a land grant and emancipation..

But unno know wahalla stupid and know nothing so a pure lie and story.....

How about this? It is extant. It still exists and has been proven to be authentic.

For the ignorant, "extant" means: still in existence; surviving; currently in existance.

Do you need a definition for "authentic", too, j-can?

Is this woman ok?
what has been proven to be authentic?
