Joffa Magazine cover. The ‘Jamaican Overseas Family and Friends Association’ magazine lasted into the 1970s and covered articles of interest to the growing West-Indian population in Britain, including a very comprehensive section on sport. Miss Jamaica 1970, Betty Ann Lindo, is seen here congratulating Miss Joffa 1970, Marjorie Desvignes, at the Grosvenor Hotel in London. The editor, Theo Campbell, O.D., also ran the first black record shop at 250 Brixton Road. The Order of Distinction was presented to him by the Jamaican government to recognise Mr Campbell’s work with the Jamaican and West Indian community overseas. He became the first recipient living abroad to receive this honour.\u00a0 Ref: 1992\/16<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
