Louise Bennett-Coverley Heritage Council

The Louise Bennett-Coverley Heritage Council (Fla.) Inc. was launched to preserve the legacy of Jamaica’s cultural icon, Louise Bennett-Coverley, affectionately called “Miss Lou,” and share Jamaica’s rich folkloric culture. Through Edutainment – education through entertainment – the Council helps Jamaicans in South Florida celebrate, enjoy, and pass on our cultural heritage to the next generation. 

With proceeds from our programs, and donations from individuals, and corporate and community organizations, the Council provides annual scholarships to talented students at the Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts in Jamaica, and to students at the Broward College in South Florida.
