The Law #348, to Declare our Silver Cemeteries National Historic and Cultural Patrimony in Panama’s National Assembly, just passed Third Debate yesterday 1 March 2012!
This is a big and historic milestone in Panama for official recognition of the contribution of the Silver People, aka the West Indian Panamanians. We praise God for He always answers the prayers of all those who lean on His sustaining Grace!
Keep up with the progress of our vision for these historic cultural sites for Panama and the rest of humanity.
The Silver People refers to the former “silver roll” employees of the former Panama Canal Zone which had a historically segregated payroll as well as social system. The Silver People in this instance were the Black West Indian and their descendants living in Panama.
Yes. I thought we had made that perfectly clear in previous articles? Maybe you need to read further here:
Who Were the Silver People?
To the entire team of players, what a great accomplishment. Whatever, whenever & however just count us (the Best of Halls & Clarks and all afilliated with HAP, Inc.) in the vision and goals of the very near future.
Blessings from H-Town Tx.
