SUGAR LANDS 2023

Out of all the Caribbean islands plundered and conquered by the British, St. Vincent and the Grenadines was one of the last to be colonised; and the only territory that has recorded less than a century under the system known as chattel slavery. Follow Vincentian historian Dr. Adrian Fraser, walking through the remnants of the colonial plantations, and explaining his findings on the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade.

Why is this only at 30 odd likes? Why just 600 views and not 100,000+ ??? Why is this not out there like it should??? Anyways, excellent job brother. Very patriotic of you to put out something like this, you have a passion and a warm heart for where you come from.

Everything that was taken and done to our ancestors. A whole new system/history/culture was birthed so should we as a nation still march, protest, seek compensation etc.
Or should we learn from the pain and suffering of our forefathers .
Great content my brother keep up the good work.

I was under the impression that the Island of Mystique was leased to the current owners, and once that lease is expired, the Island will revert back to the St. Vincent Government. Perhaps I'm wrong about that?

Lovely!!!!

Without reparations there's no acknowledgement of African and Indigenous humanity...

As someone who grew up in Canouan alot has changed and most people are not focused on regaining much, but take pay as a silent bargain and let its' people suffer. It's like they're happy to be in bed with the ones who do wrong once they get money.
