Editor: Hats off to Dr. Adrian Fraser. I donât know Dr. Fraser personally, but after reading his weekly columns (Point of View) in the Searchlight Newspaper, I venerate his writings and social commentary, and I have utmost respect for Dr. Fraser (heâs one of my local celebrities).{{more}} I normally ask myself why Dr. Fraser isnât the Leader of this country (wishful thinking).
I was really enthralled with Dr. Fraserâs Friday, September 2 , 2011, Column, âThe Garvey Movement in St. Vincent – Some reflectionsâ. I spent 5 years learning history in school and never did I know we had a Marcus Garvey Movement in St. Vincent. The UNIA, I read about Mr. Garvey, I did a paper on him, but still I was ignorant to this bit of information. We had a Movement right here at Home! This new piece of information is like Gold to me. It gives me a renewed sense of patriotism. Iâll be eagerly anticipating this weekâs Column where Dr. Fraser will speak about âThe addresses that were given by Garveyâ.
More Vincentians need to show an interest in our Local History, especially my young peers. Dr. Fraserâs two books âFrom Shakers To Spiritual Baptistâ and âChatoyer, The First National Hero of St. Vincent and the Grenadinesâ should be at the top of our reading list. I could safely say Dr. Fraser is a blessing to this nation. I hope one day I get the opportunity to sit and speak with him.
