Tribute to Bobby Clarke, Barbadian Patriot

By Renwick Rose Though we are all aware that the ravages of time will eventually bring our time on earth to a close, yet we cannot help but express profound sadness at the passing of one dear to us.

Servant President of NJAC
TODAY, April 21, marks the 51st anniversary of the declaration of the first State of Emergency (SOE) during the Trinidad and Tobago Revolution of 1970.
This revolution, also referred to as the Black Power Revolution of 1970 was led by the National Joint Action Committee (NJAC), under the visionary leadership of the late chief servant Makandal Daaga (then Geddes Granger), for a new and just society in TT.
The events of this day were preceded by a series of mass demonstrations which included the well-known March to Caroni on March 12, 1970, when thousands of people from the urban communities in north Trinidad marched to central Trinidad in solidarity with their East Indian brothers and sisters.

Black Power protest in 1970: The demonstrations which began on February 26, 1970, has been called the February Revolution, the Black Power Movement and the Trinidad and Tobago Revolution of 1970. -
EMBAU MOHENI
FIFTY-ONE years ago, on February 26, 1970, a mass "people’s movement" for national transformation was launched under the leadership of chief servant Makandal Daaga (then Geddes Granger) and NJAC. The movement has been called the February Revolution, the Black Power Movement and the Trinidad & Tobago Revolution of 1970.
With the rallying cry of “power to the people” sweeping across the nation in mass demonstrations in north, south, east and west Trinidad, and in Tobago, the masses demanded their human right to a meaningful say in the shaping of their future and that of their children.
