Everyday You Learn Something New: Garveyism in Trinidad


The other day, I was on the promenade in San Fernando (Trinidad) by the taxi stand. I cannot count the number of times I have waited for transportation in this area. This particular day I walked past the waiting area when I bumped into a statue and monument to Marcus Garvey. Somehow, I've never noticed the sculpture before and I'm not sure that many people do. When I told a friend of mine that the man in the white suit was Garvey, he said, "All de time I passing this thing and I thought it was some calypsonian or something." At least he had some thought about it because the monument was apparently in my blind-spot.
