The boycott of the St Vincent Conference by Dr Peggy Antrobus and Andaiye was a significant example of affirmative action

Dear Editor,

Now, please do not quote me as saying that affirmative action is the solution to our problems, and then call me a Black Nationalist after that. Many have got away with this term “Black Nationalist”, which is really part of the contempt, or self- contempt, to be dealt with at a convenient time.

This is a short letter about affirmative action. Hence my introduction.
