One of the greatest women that ever lived. Uplifting the Jamaican culture as a positive movement. If we don't be careful our children of Jamaican descent will lose out on this diverse heritage. Great video, respect!
@Slipfriction....Many of them have already lost it. And when we try to connect with the culture, we're called Yankees. But when Jamaican ppl start that rubbish with me, mi ready fi dem. I'm so proud of my heritage.
True wod!. Expressions whether in potios (patwa) or in any other languages (English, Spanish, Hausa, Zulu etc) are all intelligent none greater none less.
I am just knowing about a wonderful woman . You can see that she is a great Jamaican. I love you Miss Louise Bennett you are my favorite star and my number one too 😍😍😍💗💗💖❤💓💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💟💟💟💟💖💗💖💖💕💕💕
Miss Lou was the best and, I can't believe that 9 people actually clicked dislike. They are not from Jamaica or just don't understand so, they dislike it. Complete ignorant to what they can't understand.
I listened to her at the Carifesta in Barbados in 1981,with this monologue . After that I became proud of my rich Caribbean dialect . We as a Carribbean people should be proud of our rich heritage and culture. What is fantastic about us , each island has its own dialect but can relate to each other. We have dialect and can write standard English.
Should be the 2nd heroine! Bob says we need to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. That's what this lady is for Jamaicans: Our emancipator. She help to teach Jamaicans to love themselves and their culture!
Yes, we read “Colonisation in Reverse” when I was at school in Kingston, after I arrived there from England. Of course, my English Lit teacher picked me out to read it in front of the whole class in my London accent !
frist R.I.P Ms. Lou i love this so much this lady has inspired me throughout my few years of life she has made has placed our culture in a positive light and for that i truely respect her and i do belive that all jamaicans can take a page out of her book and learn to be proud of who we are JAMAICAN

Love listening to this. Miss Lou has inspired me to create Mama Soulongou Bambamcherio and continue with the story telling. The labrish sweet, Ah nuh true!
Louise Bennett for National Hero....because national pride and cultural appreciation and preservation is as important as the fight for freedom as it helps to preserve the reason for the fight.
Great Ms Lou was a friend to many of the Beetroot Reggae Show performers on the Beetroot Reggae Show Channel on RU-vid. All Ms Lou works performed with permission from Louise Bennett Estate.
I know a lot of Jamaicans migrated to Costa Rico to help build the railway a very long time ago so I've heard of the community in Limón that speak Jamaican patois.
