Long time supporter of reparations for slavery, Mike Henry, Jamaica’s Minister of Transport and Works, got an apology from the Oxford University Press about their definition of Maroon.
I suppose it’s not very surprising that a British dictionary would “forget” to mention that the Maroons defeated the British twice !
Go deh, Mike !

It is wonderful that Mr. Mike Henry set the record straight.
