About this listen

The landscape of Anguilla has been graced with the military strides of this noble gentleman Gregory 'Jaggy' Benjamin. With every step and landing of the shoe, there was that stamp of approval of an island branded ‘tranquility wrapped in blue.’ Jaggy was truly a spectacular figure in every way depicting a beacon. You could not miss him, for he stood out, a tall black man. His hallmark action was his favorite twist and lash with his hand against his thigh.

The author captured this remarkable portrayal of ‘Jaggy’ outside the famous Tasty's Restaurant in South Hill, Anguilla. He could not resist highlighting this folk legend as his feet glided on the rugged pavement. Jaggy was at his best marching to his own beat...a march to freedom. We can learn so much from the life and legacy of this gentle giant; he held his own, stayed in his lane and was embraced by his community. This is a testament of his march to freedom.
