Mr. Speaker. I rise today to recognize the tremendous contributions that Jamaican Americans have made to our society and to join with them in celebrating their 43rd anniversary of independent rule on August 6. 2005. Jamaicans have been immigrating to the United States for centuries and have undeniably left their mark on cities throughout our Nation. Their contributions can be seen at the center of our neighborhoods and industries. everywhere from New York to California. They are skilled business people. engineers. doctors. lawyers. and have produced some of our Nations greatest leaders including former Secretary of State. General Colin Powell. and basketball star Patrick Ewing.
