Delivered at the Conference on “Caribbean Perspectives on Labor and Politics: The Legacies of Michael Manley and Cheddi Jagan: Wayne State University, April 17, 1998.
I would like to start by addressing directly the Caribbean members of the audience. I want to say this to you: know your history; know your culture; know your roots; know your heroes and your heroines. For if you don’t know where you’re coming from, you won’t have a sense of self, a sense of purpose, and a sense of direction.
