- Abstract
This article presents information about the life and accomplishments of Jamaican Isaac Edmestone Barnes. Barnes spent his first thirty-three years in Jamaica and is the only known black graduate of Jamaica's short-lived nineteenth-century university, Jamaica University College. Barnes went on to become Jamaica's first black environmental scientist and geographer, the surveyor-general of the Republic of Liberia, a musician, writer, and first black executive in an international diamond syndicate. Barnes' family history is traced from its Jewish Scottish origins to immigration and marriage to black Jamaican women.
