Posted on June 1, 2020 by yekengale From the vantage point of the establishment, the nationwide protests engulfing America can be the beginning of the end. The cry on Fox news is stop the hooligans now! From the standpoint of the uprising, this can be the beginning of change. A dispassionate view of history reveals that … More The Sound of War
In Jamaica’s 60th sovereign year as a nation, we reflect how far we have come. Hopefully this year, we have matured enough to include that mirror we all have in each other in our reflective process. Seeing ourselves through the eyes of our contemporaries, even through the eyes of our adversaries, may not always render … More Through whose looking glass?
