A 14-person delegation from the United States of America – including state legislators – is expected to visit Guyana to review allegations of racism, discrimination and human rights violations here.

A press release yesterday stated that the team consists of US state legislators, civil rights activists, and entrepreneurs, and will be led by President & Founder of Organization World Leaders and former Chair, Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, Dee Dawkins-Haigler; and former Chair of the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus, Rep. John King III (SC). They will endeavour to assess the validity of the allegations of racial discrimination and intimidation tactics and “shed light on the truth and pave way for a brighter, more inclusive future in Guyana.”
