August Monday is the day celebrated by former British Colonies in regards to the Abolishment of Slavery in 1833 otherwise known as Emancipation Day. Emancipation Day is widely observed in the British West Indies during the first week of August and on that day you can find three things taking place: Partying, Relaxation and Beach Going. According to the Encyclopedia,'Emancipation Day is celebrated in many former British colonies in the Caribbean and areas of the United States on various dates in observance of the emancipation of slaves of African descent. It is also observed in other areas in regard to the abolition of serfdom or other forms of servitude.'
August Monday, first Monday in August, is the day set aside in Dominica to ensure that Dominicans truly feel the experience of being free and freedom and what better place is there to be than this time. No... I am seriously asking this question to you so if you know, please let me know.
Here today in this video we are celebrating Fun Under the Son. Yes folks.. it's Son and not Sun... even though we were turning up under the sun and unto night fall. hehe This event was held at the Machocheri Park in Dominica and the featuring artist of that Concert was none other than, the one and the only Mr. Blessing after Blessing from Trinidad and Tobago. THe Soca-Reggae Artist, whose real name is Joel Murray, lifted up the entire park as he aided in musical composition the artistry of his music. He reminded us yet again that true Emancipation comes from the Son and by Son I mean Jesus Christ. The one who came to die for man kinds fall to redeem us unto himself. Knowing that through the acceptance of God's Son we find true emancipation. This is Positive on the Stage of the Fun Under the Son 2015 Gospel Concert.
