Every year Trinidadi
ans celebrate Emancipation Day on 1st August. On this public holiday we commemorate August 1, 1838 when slaves were emancipated in the British colonised Caribbean islands.
There is the big African cultural event and also the parade / procession in the streets of Port Of Spain. People are in their African finery and strut about tall and proud like African royalty.
At ICIT we choose to be part of this celebration annually. This year will be no different. We will will be meeting at our centre in St Augustine on August 2, 2009 for a grand time. Join us as we too come together in our African finery for an evening of fun and enlightenment.
Carol Joseph (in photo above), B.A. Dip.Ed, M. Ed. history teacher and lecturer at University of Trinidad and Tobago will deliver the feature message for that day. The theme is ‘Emancipate yourself from mental slavery’
Yes, we will be singing our Bob Marley theme song ‘Redemption Song’
Yes, we will be having drummers
Yes, we will be having our usual competition for best African male and female outfit outfit.
So come on down and bring some friends with you and learn how you can live a life of mental, emotional and spiritual freedom. Free from stress, limitation and lack.
