When Black Lives Matter protesters go marching from Kensington Oval to Independence Square on June 13, at least one Government minister will be among them.

Prescod said what happened to George Floyd in the United States has reignited the spirit of revolutionary minds.
“This is not going to be a US issue.

We empathise with all families [who experience] a fundamental breach of social justice and lack of humanity. (CA)
