In January 1907, a massive earthquake struck Kingston, Jamaica, leveling much of the city and killing over 800 people. This episode explores not just the disaster itself, but the social and political aftershocks that exposed deep racial and class divisions under British colonial rule. Lucas and Luna walk through the moments of the quake, the failures of relief efforts that favored white and wealthy neighborhoods, the controversial reconstruction plan that displaced poor Black Jamaicans from central Kingston, and the lasting scars on the city's layout. They discuss the role of seismologist John Milne, the vulnerability of tenement yards, and how the disaster accelerated calls for self-government. A story of nature's fury and human inequality. #History #Jamaica #Kingston #1907Earthquake #ColonialJamaica #JohnMilne #TenementYards #RaceAndClass #DisasterRelief #UrbanPlanning #RaeTown #HannahTown #PortRoyal #BritishEmpire #Seismology #CaribbeanHistory #FexingoHistory #NaturalDisaster Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
