BARBADIANS OF ANY shade of black who refuse to acknowledge their African heritage need their heads checked.
That was the blunt assessment of historian Trevor Marshall, who was the main speaker at the Black History Month African awareness presentation yesterday at Sharon Primary School, St Thomas.
Marshall, who is no stranger to controversy, told the media: “When all Chinese in the world can establish that they come from Mongolia, all Indians can establish that they came from Bangalore or Deli, all the Europeans can establish that they come from Norway, Berlin or England.
The Latinos can say they come from Latin America and in spite of scientific evidence, black people cannot establish that they come from Africa, something is wrong with them. (TSG)
