	The life and work of Hugh Lawson Shearer - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Hugh Shearer, too, was the ultimate team player, as was to be attested to by Edward Seaga, the man who replaced him at the helm of the JLP and who, it is widely held, played no small role in prising Shearer out of the post of political leader of the JLP.
		Shearer came back to wild speculation over who would become prime minister, and it is reported that he narrowly won among his parliamentary colleagues on the second ballot, and not without the influence of Bustamante being brought to bear on the final vote.
		Shearer continued to be among the leading lights in the trade union movement and in 1977, at the death of Bustamante, was elected president-general of the BITU and played a major role in bridging the old divide between Jamaican trade unions.

	The legacy of Hugh Lawson Shearer - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		EVEN AS WE MOURN the passing of Elder Statesman Hugh Shearer, the regrets stand alongside a strange sense that it has occurred at a time when the society needed some sort of anodyne, some catalyst for reflection and even a restoration of a sense of proportion in our political life.
		Supporters of Walter Rodney, the Guyanese lecturer and social activist whose banning by Mr Shearer's government led to student riots, may not be so benign in their assessment of his legacy, but even they have been disarmed by the passing years.
		Hugh Lawson Shearer will be laid to rest and history will move on, as it inevitably does.
