NACC hosts African Liberation Day dinner

by

The Na­tion­al Ac­tion Cul­tur­al Com­mit­tee (NACC), on the oc­ca­sion of the 48th an­niver­sary of African Lib­er­a­tion Day, will host the 29th An­nu­al African Lib­er­a­tion Day Din­ner on to­mor­row, at La Joya Com­plex, EMR, St Joseph, from 7.30 pm. The com­mem­o­ra­tion of African Lib­er­a­tion Day has as­sumed height­ened im­por­tance to the Caribbean re­gion since this year has been des­ig­nat­ed as the In­ter­na­tion­al Year for Peo­ple of African De­scent, by the Unit­ed Na­tions.

African Lib­er­a­tion Day (May 25, 1963) was the day on which the new­ly in­de­pen­dent states on the African con­ti­nent came to­geth­er and es­tab­lished the Or­gan­i­sa­tion of African Uni­ty (OAU). Al­though, the OAU was changed in 2002 to the African Union (AU), May 25 is still re­tained as African Lib­er­a­tion Day through­out the world. The fea­ture speak­ers for this year's din­ner are top African en­er­gy ex­pert and busi­ness­man Prince So­tubo Bil­ly Har­ry; and, lead­ing African com­mu­ni­ca­tions en­tre­pre­neur, Sir God­fey Ohuabun­wa.

It is note­wor­thy that both speak­ers are in­to ar­eas which are nec­es­sary for the African to be in­volved in, giv­en their im­por­tance and rel­e­vance in the 21st cen­tu­ry and thus be able to make a fun­da­men­tal con­tri­bu­tion to world civil­i­sa­tion.

• Tick­ets for the din­ner are avail­able at NACC of­fices, 40 Duke Street, Port-of-Spain, or 7 Fred­er­ick Street, Mara­bel­la. In­ter­est­ed peo­ple may call 623-5470.

Despite finding out just three days earlier—on December 23—that I had breast cancer, I still got dressed and showed up on December 26, Boxing Day, for a birthday party. I didn’t go to escape the truth. I went to remind myself I was still here, still living, still me.
