OUR CARIBBEAN: Lamming for award tomorrow
Apr 26, 2013
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - George Lamming, whose name is synonymous with our Caribbean literary history and a most eloquent, persistent voice in defence of this region’s political and cultural sovereignty, will this evening be presented with the Clement Payne Appreciation Award, an event that coincides with next Monday’s annual celebration of National Heroes Day.
Readers familiar with the varied activities of the Clement Payne Movement – established 25 years ago to commemorate one of the most outstanding pioneers of the Caribbean’s trade union movement – may wonder why the organizers of the awards event – an annual feature since 2007 – opted to honour 85-year-old Lamming tomorrow evening ahead of National Heroes Day.
