Welcome to JNA:
The Jamaican Nationals' Association (JNA) of
Washington D.C. was launched in the fall of 1969, at an inaugural meeting on the
campus of Howard University. Numerous members of the Jamaican community worked
hard the preceding two years to bring to fruition the concept of the new
organization; however, six students at Howard University were recognized by most
of the participants, at the time, as founders of JNA. The founders of JNA were
Horace Neil, Eunacio McGill, Ralston Parkinson, Desmond Malcolm, Keith
Knight, and John Junior. read more...
