“Africans Versus Caribbeans”, often seen as a comical source of irreverence and entertainment, is another principle found in the works of William Lynch that encouraged the enslaved to focus on perceived differences – instead of obvious similarities. This attitude only perpetuated disunity, hostility and self-hatred in the minds and lives of those who consciously or unconsciously practiced it. The “we are one” community seminar will help us recognise the damage we continue to do to our communities with this practice – but, more importantly, how we can put an end to this intergenerational “curse” once and for all.

Free event.
