Culture, Youth, and Sport Minister Dr Frank Anthony on Monday presented a number of publications to the Caribbean Community (Caricom) Secretariat.
The publications, comprising the Guyana classics’ series by authors such as Mark McWatt, Ian McDonald, Sir Walter Raleigh, Denis Williams, Sister Mary Menezes, Martin Carter, Charles Barrington Brown and David Dabydeen, were presented to Caricom Secretary General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, at the Secretariat’s Documentation Centre. The minister also presented a compilation of speeches made in the National Assembly between 1947 and 1987 by former President of Guyana Dr Cheddi Jagan.
In brief remarks during the presentation, Minister Anthony said that the books, which all hold historical significance for Guyana, were published by the Caribbean Press publishing house with funding from the government of Guyana, and were among the first 36 books to be so published.
LaRocque commended the minister for the impressive undertaking and expressed gratitude to him for the “wonderful” presentation of Guyana’s rich history.
