Biography

Orlando Wong was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1952.^[1] He grew up in the slums of Eastern Kingston's Franklin Town and received an informal education from a Rastafarian named Negus.^[1] Wong's rebellious nature initially led him to engage in demonstrations against police violence and painting slogans on walls.^[2]

When a project to provide a ghetto school and community centre to benefit the area's youths hit financial difficulties, Wong began engaging in guerrilla activities, based in the hills around Kingston, including armed robberies.^[1
