Today we leave the labels behind…
I have always believed that race should not blind our vision to progress and move forward, and after reading newly elected Prime Minister of Trinidad & Tobago, the Honourable Mrs. Kamla Persad-Bissessar Inauguration Speech my hopes and expectations are high. Niccolo Machiavelli The Prince (1532) said, “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has introduced a new order of things. In her inauguration speech she said, “This morning we leave the labels behind and we move forward as one nation – all committed to the same goal – a safer, more prosperous and just Trinidad and Tobago where we all have opportunity and equality. No more labels. No more prefixes of Afro and Indo nor North and South nor East West corridors.” Yes, I do believe change has indeed come!
