Letter to the Sports Editor Basil Butcher’s Ancestry

Jan 03, 2020 Sports

Dear Editor,

New Year greetings to you and your readers.
As Basil F. Butcher’s daughter, I have noted an inaccuracy regarding my father’s ancestry, which was recently publishing in your newspaper. My father was Guyanese to the bone, and as much as he would have been very pleased to be connected by blood to the first peoples of Guyana, my dad always told us that his mother (Guyanese) was black and that his father (Bajan) was mixed with black and East Indian – grandmother, on his father’s side, was East Indian from Trinidad and Tobago. Therefore, for the benefit of your readers and for posterity, I will be grateful if you would publish this clarification.
Sincerely,
Blossom Butcher-Sumner
