Dear Editor;
September 12, 2016 marked the second death anniversary of Elvin McDavid, the Founding Patron of the Forbes Burnham Foundation (FBF). In keeping with a decision of the Foundation to commemorate his life with an annual memorial symposium, the Symposium will be held on September 25th from 3 pm at the Critchlow Labour College. McDavid was a former Minister of Culture, a former Ambassador and a former Political Advisor to President Burnham. He played a significant role in the establishment of the Guyana National Service and was responsible for pioneering CARIFESTA which was first held in Guyana in 1972.
The Memorial Symposium will be addressing the topic: “Burnham and National Cohesion.” The speakers will be the Chairman of the Foundation and a representative from the Ministry of Social Cohesion.
The Burnham Foundation is dedicated to memorializing the death of LFS Burnham, commemorating his life and keeping his legacy alive. The struggle for national cohesion is but one of his legacies.
The public at large are invited to the Symposium.
Vincent Alexander
Chairman, FBF
