We need to erect a monument to the Jonestown dead

Dec 10, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
If ever a decision is made to honour the innocent of the Jonestown tragedy by the authorities, in collaboration with the US Embassy and tourism agencies, it will definitely be a humanitarian decision which will definitely go well for the families and friends of all the deceased and Guyana.
No disrepect to Clement Cumberbatch in his Kaieteur News commentary dated December 7, 2008, where he proposed “Port Kaituma” as his choice for the remembrance site, which I also believe is supported by others from past published commentaries via newsprints. Honestly, I don’t believe that it will be the wisest decision.
A major controversy could erupt, and we don’t need to go down that avenue. Not ever. It also need not be the “Botanical Gardens,” which was my proposal, and I hope the proposed site wouldn’t cause any controversy, as the “Cubanna Disaster” site did not so long ago.
T. Pemberton
