Kingston, Jamaica 1965

I came across this picture by typing "Jamaica 1965" in Google's search engine. This picture stood out amongst the dozens that appear on the first page. The caption stated this was taken in Kingston, Jamaica, circa 1965. If that's accurate then Jamaica had only been an independent nation for only three years. In lower, middle of the picture stands a man. Who was he? What happened to him? If he were to walk up the street what would he find? I wonder if he could find a cup of coffee somewhere up there.
