Synopsis

As a youth born and raised in Jamaica and through some African history we were taught in school, we acquired very little knowledge of the history of black nations. I also learned and accepted a Christ-like way of life which, up to this present time, remains the major force in my life on this planet and has also given me a great feeling of passion for all people. We were financially poor but always had plenty of food and drink. As a country boy, when I left school I had no real concept of time but was acutely aware of day and night. We did not know anything about slavery but one of the homes in which I was brought up was one of many slavery camps. Some of the chains that were used to bind young children to their parents whilst they were working on the plantations later became our childhood toys. The manner in which many of us were chastised was an indication of the upbringing that our parents were handing down to us because they knew of no other way.

Biographie de l'auteur

Rev Albert A. Harriott was born in Jamaica West Indies(WI). He is the fourth child of 11 . After he left the Minto elementary school at the age of 15, he started working for himself and his parent as a cultivator. He was interested in music and wanted to play the organ but, was deprived by his father. He prayed hard and three nights after, he had a vision of someone teaching him how to play the organ. When he woke up, he knew he would become an organist, reading the notes while he played the instrument. From that time forward, everything he needed and prayed for, he always received. When he was in school, he had a powerful memory which made him an outstanding student in reading, math, recitation and composition. He moved to the United Kingdom in 1955 and learned a few skills just by observing others. One of his outstanding characteristics is his Christ-like approach to everyone. Since 1957, he has served as master of ceremonies during wedding rites, christenings and funerals. He always looks after the interests and wellbeing of other people.
