DEAR EDITOR,
Reference is made to letter “Tulsa is a stark example from which Guyana must learn” (KN Jun. 9) by Hamilton Green. I could not agree more! But there is a more pointed, direct, greater reference to race violence here in our homeland – the Wismar Massacre. Why go to far-off Oklahoma when lessons can be learned closer at home from the Wismar Massacre, which happened 40 years after Oklahoma. I recently published comparisons on both race massacres.
Perhaps Mr. Green can enlighten us on his role in that Wismar violence and what he and his PNC/R government have done from 1964 onwards to assist the victims and their families. The Oklahoma Massacre victims are allowed back in their community and compensation is contemplated. What lessons did Mr. Green learn and what he thinks can be done to prevent a repeat?
Yours truly,
Vishnu Bisram
