“We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is our only ruler; sovereign.”  ― Marcus Garvey

On Thursday, August 1, T&T will once again observe Emancipation Day. Let’s reflect on what we need to do to free our minds from mental slavery.

“I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated”—Helen Keller.

On July 28, I shall attend the 6th annual concert organised by T&T’s Blind Welfare Association, organised in collaboration with Naparima College, San Fernando. The event will feature blind and visually impaired artistes.

The last time I attended one of the association’s concerts I left full of admiration for the many gifts that the artistes shared with us. I commend the association members for their sterling work as advocates for the blind and visually impaired.

It is no use telling parents that they are the ones to blame for plac­ing “stress” on the shoul­ders of their children writ­ing the SEA ex­am, when they know that there is no level playing field in our education system.
