From the Introductory Note:
In the earliest days of the self government movement, Walter G. McFarlane played an important part by organizing a branch of the Jamaican Progressive League in Kingston. While others talked, he acted, though faced with many serious difficulties. The parent league had been formed in New York on September 1, 1936, and by December 6, the following year Mr. McFarlane’s efforts came to a head. After having been driven from the North Street Moravian Church by hoodlums the week before, he and six others founded the branch by means of a resolution passed in the office of Dr. W.S. Duhaney Sr. on Duke Street, Kingston.
