After 300 years of British rule, Jamaica declared itself an independent state on Aug. 6, 1962. As you can imagine, that date is a big holiday in the Caribbean island nation. And 59 years later it’s also a reason to celebrate here in South Florida with its large and growing Jamaican population. Broward County has the most Jamaicans in Florida, a state with more than 300,000, second only to New .

One morning in the summer of 1999, Graham Finn woke up in the childhood bedroom of rapper LL Cool J, in Queens, New York. A question flashed through his mind: how did I get here?
“LL Cool J had kept the house he grew up in,” says Cork-born Finn from his home in Green County in Upstate New York. “There was a studio in the basement. If he was working with an artist he would put them up there for the week. I slept in his childhood bed. It was very surreal.”
