Talking one thing and doing something else Prime Minister Dr Rowley - Angelo Marcelle THE EDITOR: In his Emancipation Day message, Prime Minister Dr Rowley (or maybe his speech writer) made an unqualified statement that “on the African continent, slavery existed before the Europeans arrived and turned Africa’s west coast into an organised export enterprise.” He and/or the speech writer also stated, “We must also pay attention to the calls for reparative justice for centuries of slavery, particularly in light of how the covid19 vaccines were appropriated by the developed world.” According to a good friend of mine’s, here is yet another matter of a politician talking one thing and doing something else.
