On this page we have provided links to pages detailing our efforts at promoting our historic Bill of Law in Panama’s Legislative Assembly introduced in the National Assembly of Panama outlining these demands. We have labeled it The Silver People Law or Ley Silver People in Spanish and our intention is to formalize historic issues in our demand for the rescue, protection, restoration and safeguarding of the cultural properties and the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Panamanian community known as the Westindians or The Silver People of the Black Panama Canal Zone and the Urban Barrios.

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to be a famous blogger if you are not already
Cheers!
La Boca Town, an endearing and forever place, that I will never forget as long as I live! I got to see it before it burned down!
I came to the USA telling people that the blacks in Panama had a good sense of being, and knew who and where they came from and were proud of it! Being poor in Panama was fun! because we lived within our means! and made this look easy! I cherished the sense of pride that was instilled in me, which I still carry about myself! Proud to tell anyone about my humbled origins!
It no longer boasted the proud and hard working race that once prevailed, but for me it was the greatest of a community, that aspired to work hard at no matter what! Hell, I thought we were middle class!
Dolores, This was beautiful and your comment came across poetically as a tribute to a once “proud and hard working race.” We hope that you encourage others, particularly those of the younger generation, to come and read about the Silver People of Panama. Thank you so much for this tribute from from a a child of La Boca Town.
