Paul Bogle
It was believed that #PaulBogle was born free about 1822. He was a firm political adherent of George William Gordon who made him a Deacon. Bogle lived in Stony Gut but also had another house in Spring Garden. He was not a poor man; he also had 500 acres at Dunrobin.
In 1865, the economic situation in Jamaica began to worsen. There were increases in unemployment and taxes, but a reduction in wages. Gordon had appointed Bogle the leader of the group he had chosen to take their complaints to the Governor.

National Heroes’ Day of Jamaica which takes place every third Monday of October, is a public holiday that honors some of the greatest names of the nation. This year, it takes place on October 16. Every country has extraordinary citizens who stand out as an inspiration, and Jamaica has seven such names that serve as ideals for the youth even today. This includes scholars, businessmen, leaders, and other individuals that aided in the progress and freedom of Jamaica. Find out more about the seven national heroes and pay them the tribute they deserve.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL HEROES' DAY OF JAMAICA
Every nation has heroes of its own that are remembered for their excellent service in the healthcare sector, the army, or education. Some figures are remembered for their political activity or humanitarian services. Then some are exemplary musicians, artists, or athletes that performed remarkably in their field.
The National Heroes Day of Jamaica is an amalgamation of many such individuals.
Sir Alexander Bustamante, K.B., O.N.H., Ll.D (Hon.)
George William Gordon
Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Nanny of the Maroons
Norman Manley
Paul Bogle
