Slavery was a brutal way for blacks to be treated. In the Caribbean and the USA black folks endured great suffering.
I have often wondered why the African American people of the USA and the Caribbean do not connect in the way we should. Slavery was abolished in Barbados 30 years after the USA. In the 60's as a nation we were becoming an independent nation from England whilst the minority in the USA were battling the demons of segregation. I believe that since we have the same history we should become more involved. With the advent of the Internet the world has become a global village Destee online has shown what can be achieved.
So let us begin to do our part. We cannot rely on others to do it for us.
