My two favourite “Freedom Issues”
I took a break from my usual Emancipation Lamentations in this space for a few years. (Some sensitive Afro-Guyanese would sometimes mis-interpret my annual offerings as being anti-this or anti-that.) However, I return if only to teach. Or provoke serious reflection.
I hope serious teaching components will accompany the celebratory presence of the African Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses who have accepted the local African Cultural Development Association’s invitation to participate in this week-end’s Freedom Celebrations.(Would your average twelve-year old Afro-fellow know how many years ago the slaves acquired their “full-freedom” – Emancipation?)
