Memorial, cultural activities among plans for Buxton Emancipation programme

Businessman Morris Wilson and his wife Jocelyn have started planning their contributions for this year’s observation of Emancipation week and day in Buxton which will include several cultural presentations.

According to a press release, the highlight of the Wilsons’ Emancipa-tion contributions will be a first anniversary dedication of a monument that was dedicated last year to mark the extra-judicial deaths of about 400 Guyanese during the early 2000s; the co-sponsorship of a symposium to mark the 250th anniversary
