Look how far we have come? Not too long ago many of our relatives were called pejorative names, teased or ostracized because of the African rituals they practiced. Even the local Catholic priest discriminated against us on a number of occasions. A few family members also consciously distanced themselves from this part of their heritage due to ignorance or embarrassment. However, if the Trinidad and Tobago government can acknowledge Robert Antoine on a plaque on Piccadilly Street it’s time for us to reclaim our pride in our name, ancestors and heritage!
