Space constraints prevented the publication of Dr Taylor's column in The Sunday Gleaner.
This week in 1925, Marcus Mosiah Garvey completed his first week in prison in the United States. Smack in the middle of Black History Month, the spirit of the second greatest black man of all time must be churning in the afterlife and his bones cringing in his grave over what we have done with our wonderful gift of democracy and statehood.
Even Garvey, with all his vision, did not think that independence would have been given to us on a silver platter, which is why in his 1929 manifesto of the People's Political Party (PPP), he proposed to make "representation to the Imperial Parliament for a larger modicum of self-government".
