Many of you may have read the story about the “so called” attack on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reports. When I first read it all I could remember is the Maroons versus the British from my history class days at high school in Jamaica. I loved history and recalled my fascinating when our history teacher Miss Grant talked about the Maroons. She was one of my favorite teachers. She had a way to describe things to take you back to that time and place.

There were also the great myths we learned about the Maroons. The one I remember is hearing how Nanny caught bullets in her buttocks and farted (fired) them back at the British.
