Former Congressman, Edwin Patterson speaks on Marcus Garvey in Costa Rica"I still believe in people"

I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Edwin Patterson at his restaurant, Tamara's, in Old Harbour (Puerto Viejo), Costa Rica. Edwin Patterson and his family are one of the oldest families in the area. He owns the oldest restaurant in Puerto Viejo and is a former Congressman of Costa Rica. During our conversation, he shared insights into his family and business life, the history of the area, teachings of Marcus Garvey, and how he perceives the changes that have occurred over time.
If you're ever in Puerto Viejo, be sure to stop and it at his restaurant, Tamara's.
Tell him Oge sent you! :-)

King Elder Patterson is the leader of our Tribal Association and the Tribal Forum. He's a good person with a great hart. Marcus Garvey's Legacy of Pan-Africanism is celebrated annually in the town of Old Harbour on August 17 at 4 pm in Liberty Hall Marcus branch 301 of the UNIA. This Liberty Hall is also located in Old Harbour diagonal from Mr. Patterson's restaurant. This event to date is the only Pan-African Marcus Garvey celebration done by my organization and are working on making it a national recognized holiday.
