I remember when the PM championed this fight with Harvard and the opposition laughed at him. Now, look at where we are today. Gaston Browne is a visionary. Point blank. Let them know who we are.
@Dr. Ray
You are so misguided in your fandom of Gaston Brown that its laughable
First thing Gaston Brown did not champion anything. This initiative came about the African American law school students at Harvard eho refused to enter the main lecture hall which carried the Royall Family crest.
Unlike many of the Caribbean clowns with PHDs these students were aware of slavery in Antigua and Barbuda.
The dehumanizing symbolism of having to enter under the Royall Crest: an Antiguan enriched slaver had to stop. They were prepared to be expelled in order to bring public attention to the issue, if that was the result.
The African American Law Students are the visionaries in this.
It was Ron Saunders who wrote to the President of Havard University after Georgetown had offered the descendants its slave a full scholardhips to Georgetown University. Once Harvard showed no interest Gaston Brown theeatened the University. It resulted in Harvard offering online continuing education courses to students st UWI Five Islands.
Gadtons theeats did bring meager results ehrn there was so much more we are rntitled to from Harvard.
Harvard gas one of the vest School of Education in the US. A true visionary would adk Harvard to establish an Early Education as well as training teachers at all levels to prepare Antiguans and Barbudans to be equipt to excell on the gloval stage.
Mark Zuckerberg did not learn to program. He leaned it it the high school level at Choate. Many middle schoolers in the US are learning machine learning and big data. They had to excell in mayh st grade school. Grtting Harvard to establish and run such s educational infrastructure is visionary. Not just s few vanity courses.
We Antiguans have never offered a word of gratitude or a jesture of appreciation to those African American Law Students who put their law degree at risked.
How about tracking down those young Harvard gradute attorneys and offering them a no expense trip to Antigua and Barbuda and treat them as we treat Hollywood celebrities.
The fact is, most like you Dr. Ray have no clue how did this dituation with Harvard came about
Dr. Ray,
I suggest you and others start informing yourselves of our history as well as current events
