Justice For Mickey

Today was the peace walk in honor of Uncle Mick.  Today the citizens of Jamaica spoke.  Today people around the world joined in to let it be known that Mickey Hill and Jamaica are on their minds and those memories will not be easily forgotten.  Did you hear us Kingston police?  Did you hear us leaders of Jamaica?  We hope you did, because we are not going away.  We will not forget.

Checking in on the Facebook memorial page today I was excited to see that we are now 663 members strong.  And the photographs.... Oh the photographs.. the album is currently 147 photographs strong and growing by the minute.

This one I have no words for.  Only tears.  Many, many tears.

One Love

We Want Peace

Outpouring Of Love

It is amazing to me, the outpouring of love that is going down on facebook.  People from all over the world.  People who knew Mickey.  People who are Mickey's family.  People who always vacationed with Mickey and his family when they were in Jamaica; who never would have had it any other way.  People who loved Mickey.  People who are fighting for Mickey.  People who will not rest until they have been heard.

560 members have already joined Uncle Mick's memorial site and they are all telling such wonderful stories of what an amazing man he was.  They are all leaving photographs of their times with Mickey.  They are all sharing how much they loved him and it is AMAZING!!  Mickey Hill you certainly were a much loved man.  You brought life and love to many with that fantastic smile!

Here are just a few of my favorite photographs and comments all of Uncle Mick's friends and family have left.  And, yes, it is just a few in comparison to the MANY that have been left.

Mickey taught me how to drive a boat. Amongst other things a city kid from Chicago should know while living in Jamaica for two almost years. He would always tell me " yer too serious mon" "you got to learn to smile". Just as he's smiling down at me in this picture I know he's smiling down upon all of us and taught us how to smile. With my eyes full of tears as I write this, I'm so happy and blessed to have had such an amazing person in my life. ~ Landon Harper

That's Freddy, Freddy always followed Mickey, he ignored anyone and everyone else. at sunset when Freddy was smaller myb 2 or so they used to walk to fisherman's to get cheese puffs, he looked really little next to big tall mickey as they walked on the beach at dusk. ~  Leanne Zaleski
