VIWMA Announces Operating Hours for D. Hamilton Jackson Day and General Election Day

🇻🇮 D. HAMILTON JACKSON DAY | LIBERTY DAY

One newspaper. A courageous voice. A lasting imprint on Virgin Islands history.

On November 1, 2026, the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority commemorates D. Hamilton Jackson Day, also known as Liberty Day, recognizing a man who understood that meaningful change begins when people have the freedom to speak, question, and be heard.

In 1915, Jackson established The Herald, a newspaper that became more than a source of information. It gave Virgin Islanders a platform to express their concerns, confront injustice, and advocate for their rights.

His influence reached beyond journalism into labor rights, education, and the pursuit of greater representation for the people of the Virgin Islands.

Jackson did more than document history. He helped change its course.

As we observe this important day, we reflect on the courage it takes to challenge the status quo and the responsibility we share to preserve the freedoms secured by those who came before us.

We proudly honor the life, contributions, and enduring legacy of D. Hamilton Jackson.
