Ancestors waiting for recognition
EINTOU PEARL SPRINGER
So, once again, Laventille, here we come. Clearly, the area, the people, require the help of the government in the development of the area. I feel hopeful at the talk of the cultural development and the statements that suggest that the people will not be moved from where their generational navel strings are buried. Like the kaisonian Bomber, I dare to dream.
In this pandemic, let us seize the time to make pan the centre for the economic and human development of Laventille. I think of cities like New Orleans, rich and famous because of their culture. Let us come to Laventille with a plan that sees the pan, as a centre of the development of the city that birthed it. I dare to envisage a great beautifully designed pan theatre at the tip-top of the hill, the sun’s rays glinting off the metal; and, at night, the reflection of moonlight. I see street names changed to represent the names of the panmen and other Laventillians.
