GUYANA SPEAKS-TRIBUTE TO ANDAIYE / ACTIVISM & NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

This 'Guyana SPEAKS special' was originally set up to coincide with Dr Kimani Nehusi's visit from the USA to London. However given the recent passing of one of Guyana's indomitable activists, Guyana SPEAKS will also use this event to pay tribute to Andaiye (1942-2019), born Sandra Williams. The event will open with a traditional African libation by Dr Michelle Yaa Asantewa. This will be followed by Vanda Radzik's tribute to Andaiye (via Skype in Guyana) and tributes, later on, from members of the audience. Since the title of Andaiye's collected speeches and writings over 50 years of activism are to be published posthumously under the title The Point is to Change the World, Dr Nehusi has kindly agreed to speak on the topic: "Activism and National Consciousness".
