 | | It is to George Walter's eternal credit, that even when battling political imprisonment, from 1976, he did not, never once, turn against the independence he himself had proposed for Antigua and Barbuda in 1976. |
 | | The point is, George Walter, as a vehicle for his own political salvation could easily have adopted the position that for Antigua and Barbuda to gain independence, it had to have a referendum, as prescribed by the Constitution and there would have to be a clear two-thirds majority voting for independence. |
 | | That is, that the most prominent personages in the field, the Cuban, Fernando Ortiz; the Martiniquan, Frantz Fanon; the Jamaican, Marcus Garvey; and the Trinidadians, George Padmore and C.L.R. James; the Guyanese Walter Rodney and Ivan Van Sertima; all stand tall, where not tallest, among figures and scholars of the 20th century. |
