Jamaicans in the United States (US) Diaspora have come out in support of a proposal by the University of Technology (UTech), to operate the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium as the western campus of that institution.

The support came last weekend at the Trelawny Business and Investment Symposium at the JFK Holiday Inn, in New York, which was organised by the Friends of Trelawny Association (FOTA).

The United Nations (UN) has established a trust fund for a permanent memorial to honour the victims of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade.

A ceremony was held recently at the UN headquarters in New York to launch the Permanent Memorial Trust Fund and to announce the appointment of hip-hop pioneer and philanthropist Russell Simmons as Goodwill Ambassador for the project.
