Riot is the language of the unheard

In 1966,  in Sept 27 interview , the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was questioned by CBS’ Mike Wallace about the “increasingly vocal minority.” They wanted to know what his views on a wave a violence which were occuring in America were as a devoted  advocate of nonviolent protests.

The President’s Men !

We would like the men on the WhatsApp chat with President Savarin to explain themselves. Specifically, the likes of Glen Ettiene, Billy Doctrove and Damien Dublin . We are very concerned in particular about the presence of Glen Ettiene. Glen was once the UWP candidate of the Soufriere constituency. What is even more worrisome is […]
