As we celebrate Liberty Day, we are reminded of the remarkable courage and conviction of D. Hamilton Jackson — a son of these U.S. Virgin Islands whose voice reshaped our destiny. His unwavering fight for justice, freedom of expression, and equality continues to inspire us all. Here at UVI, his legacy lives on in our students — the next generation of changemakers — who use their education, creativity, and leadership to uplift our university and our community.
May his spirit remind us that true liberty is not only about speaking freely but also about using our voices and our talents to make a lasting difference.
With Care & Buccaneer Pride,
Dr. Safiya George
President, University of the Virgin Islands
