Seems so according to this lazy journalist

The Gleaner breaks it down

The image of National Hero Paul Bogle that we all know is still being questioned. People are still claiming it to be that of American dry-cleaner Thomas Jenning.

The doubters are saying that the hero looked too decent, that he could not possibly afford the expensive-looking suit that he posed in, and that photography did not come to Jamaica during Bogle's era. But a Gleaner article that was published on April 19, 1959, should put the matter to rest.

I see a high level of mental slavery still existing among our people.

Some Maroons still deny that they were the ones who captured Bogle and delivered him to the English.

The article does not prove that the original, article did not forge the picture.

Sad it took a Ukranian to preserve what they tried to teef from wi
