When Kaydian Williams finally received the land title her family had waited years to secure, the moment was filled with both celebration and grief, a reminder of the grandmother, mother and brother who never lived to see it happen.

She was one of many residents of Ackee Walk and Jackson Town who on Thursday finally received the ownership documents that had eluded their families for decades.

For Williams, a resident of Jackson Town, the occasion marked the end of a journey that began long before she became involved in the process herself.
