And I am reminded of his travels to the Nation's Capitol to petition the Congress for full citizenship rights for Virgin Islanders following the Transfer of 1917. A son of the soil, David Hamilton Jackson’s ideas and advocacy are responsible for much of the socio-economic and political progression of the Virgin Islands through the 20th Century. Today, as we to continue working toward building a better and more resilient Virgin Islands post hurricanes Irma and Maria, we have a duty and a responsibility to continue to grow upon those hard-fought advancements. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
