Desmond Hoyte (1929-2002) Desmond Hoyte was blessedly free of the rancour and petty actions of the Guyanese political scene. In Desmond Hoyte's case we knew his age, we knew his medical history, we knew he pushed himself but yet still we never knew that he would be snatched away just as we prepared for the merriment of Christmas and the seriousness of the new year. Desmond knew that it was time for policy change on the economic front in particular; but he knew too that he had to inaugurate a new environment of non-racial governance - as others before and after him were to try to do as well. www.guyanaca.com /special/hoyte/hoyte.html   (8907 words)

Online NewsHour: Archbishop Desmond Tutu -- October 6, 1999 DESMOND TUTU: (10/16/84) It is saying that the world cares about oppression and injustice, and it is saying to our people -- and this is their prize -- don't give up. DESMOND TUTU: (4/29/88) And many people try to make out that we condone and even encourage violence, whereas we've said times without number we oppose all violence, which is the position of the church, the violence of an unjust system and the violence of those who seek to overthrow it. ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU: We were quite clear that we wouldn't have had general amnesty, which is what happened in Chile, and which is why it is right that the world should have stepped in and said we cannot encourage impunity. www.pbs.org /newshour/bb/africa/july-dec99/tutu_10-6.html   (1329 words)

JAR Tribute to J. Desmond Clark Desmond Clark was the towering figure who in the 1960s, together with Clark Howell, co-founded the holistic, interdisciplinary field of paleoanthropology and was one its premier practitioners for over 60 years, with indefatigable and seminal field research not only throughout Africa, but also in Syria, India and China.
