Organization Information
Mission Statement
The mission of the Jamaica Cultural Alliance is to promote the best of Jamaica, its people and their multifaceted lifestyles, in order to clarify and enhance the image of Jamaica and the Caribbean at large.
Description
JCA exists to maximize cultural exchange between Jamaica and the US. Strategically, Los Angeles has been chosen as the venue in which to initiate alliance efforts with Jamaica because strong correlations exist between the Californian and Jamaican physical environments, demographics, and diverse populations. For example, the motto for Jamaicans is "Out of many one people." As printed on the Jamaican monetary medium of exchange, it indicates the successful and harmonious blending of many ethnicities and cultures into one. U.S. currency also proudly displays "EPLURIBUS UNUM" which means "Out of many, one." Even the Los Angeles slogan "Together, we’re the best - LA" expresses this sentiment but actualizing the concept presents a daily challenge for us all. JCA envisions tremendous opportunities for establishing numerous ongoing and productive inter-cultural alliances. Schools, cultural and art organizations, in both Jamaica and Los Angeles, will be afforded greater growth advantages and increased outlets of expression.
