Thank you for sharing your story and pictures. I loved hearing/seeing all the Accompong stuff. Our visit last year was so interesting to hear about the history and someday I will go back when the world has returned to normal.

Like the rest of the World, the Accompong Maroons are experiencing some political and social problems. There will be an election called soon and the people in Accompong Town seem to be rejecting the current leadership or lack thereof. The problem is that Maroons who live outside the town get to vote and their votes seem to be for sale in some instances.

If there is a change in leadership, Accompong Town will be a much better place to visit and to live.
