late Rosie Douglas
Tiyani Behanzin, a British-trained barrister and sitting magistrate in
Dominica is overwhelmed with grief that there is almost no trace of his
father, no evidence that Rosie Douglas, the man who spent a lifetime working for
the advancement of black people worldwide ever lived. “When we look at
his legacy, apart from him being almost completely erased, it is as if he
never really existed in a sense.. I think there are those of us who will
peddle his name to raise resources, peddle his name to find new friends but the
principles that he gave which could impact on the way we live now, most of
which are forgotten and I think that’s sad.”
