Being on this path takes me to some really great places. I was pleased to be able to visit the land of my mother’s birth Guyana to speak on reparations as part of the 2013 Emancipation Programme organised by the Council of Friends of New Amsterdam (COFONA). Under the theme “From resistance to emancipation towards empowerment” CAFONA led a series of commemorations in acknowledgement of the 250th anniversary of the 1763 Berbice Slave revolt and the 175th anniversary of the 1833 Abolition of Slavery Act.
