In the year I was born the first Prime Minister of Jamaica, Sir Alexander Bustamante died. He actually died when I was approximately four months old.
Sir Alexander is now one of our six national heroes. We have one heroine.
Former Jamaican prime minister Alexander Bustamante dies of cancer at Irish Town, Jamaica, August 6 (Jamaican Independence Day) at age 93.
I am happy that I was born before he passed away.
So what special event took place in your country the year you were born. You dont have to stick to your country if you do not want to.

Well I was born in 1977, but I don't think anything really worth talking about happened here in the United States during that year. However, I was born on December 7th, which was the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941...
