Jun 13, 2015 News

A grand Guyanese-American unity parade and rally which is said to be in honor of Guyana’s 49th Independence Anniversary and the election of a “unity” government is set to be held tomorrow at 11:00hrs on Church Avenue, Brooklyn.
Kaieteur News understands that the parade will begin at Bedford and Church Avenues; proceed east along Church Avenue to culminate at Schenectady Avenue – where the rally will take place.
Chairperson of the organizing committee, Sharif Fraser, said she assembled the group of organizers after business woman, Doris Rodney broached the idea.
Fraser said, “The election of Guyana’s new leader, His Excellency President Brigadier David Granger and his unity government has engendered a new dispensation of national harmony which has caught fire here in the diaspora. The parade therefore affords us the opportunity to display this oneness to the world,” Fraser observed.
The two -part program will feature speeches from Mayor of New York City Bill De Blasio, United States Senator Chuck Schumer, United States Members of Congress Yvette Clarke and Hakeem Jeffries, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Guyanese Minister of State Joseph Harmon, Minister of Governance and Natural Resources Raphael Trotman and others.
The entertainment phase includes performances from Guyanese singer Lisa Punch, previous contestant on ABC’s “Rising Star” Show,” Guyana’s former Chief Parliamentary Whip and APNU official, Jenny Ferreira, singer Anthony Alleyne and Guyanese-American recording artist, Eddie Neblett.
Guyanese from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Atlanta Georgia, Boston, Massachusetts and Toronto Canada are expected to join their New York counterparts, in what organizers promise will be a carnival atmosphere of celebration of Guyanese from all ethnic groups and walks of life.
Organizers include Ovid Morrison, Chairman of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) North American Region; Rickford Burke, Head of the New York based Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID), Ewart Marshall, Vice Chairman of the AFC North American Region, broadcaster Bobby Vieira  and political activist Erving Washington.
