displays and <strong>African Dress Day<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of these observances, <strong>ABRSC members Joy Lawrence<\/strong> and <strong>Dr. Lenworth Johnson<\/strong> made presentations to <strong>Grades 5 and 6 students at Villa Primary School<\/strong> during their Heritage Day, where she also presented a copy of her book, <em>The People\u2019s Point<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawrence also addressed students at <strong>Glanvilles Secondary School<\/strong>, sharing insights on the history of Bethesda and its surrounding areas. Meanwhile, <strong>Mr. Regis Burton<\/strong> engaged students at <strong>Sir Novelle Richards Academy<\/strong>, fostering discussions on Black heritage and the ongoing reparations movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairman of the ABRSC, <strong>Ambassador Dorbrene O\u2019Marde <\/strong>stated, \u201cwe too honour the statement that every month is Black History month but eagerly embrace the opportunity of a month-long concentrated exposure to and interpretation of our past history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too many of us do not use our history to inform present thinking and planning for the future. We hope observations such as Black History Month and our Emancipation Watchnight and Africa-CARICOM celebrations can help us keep racial pride burning and place us firmly in the considerations of a regional Caribbean and a global Africa.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ABRSC remains committed to fostering awareness and education on the historical and cultural contributions of Africans and their descendants, ensuring that the dialogue on reparatory justice continues to be an integral part of national consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
