The Coalition of The 1823 Parade Ground Monument has arranged ‘An afternoon of reflection and knowledge-sharing’ for today, at Independence Park (Parade Ground), Georgetown. The event will commence at 12:00 hrs and is estimated to last for three hours.
Guyanese historians and cultural workers will interact with the public to commence a process to fill the knowledge gaps in Guyanese history as it relates to the resistance of African people used as slaves on the British plantations in Guyana.
There will be a special focus on the Demerara Revolt of 1823. The session will be interactive and include dramatic readings. Our African ancestors will be honoured through a Libation.
