Foreign entertainers at independence celebrations

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Needless to say I am stunned. Why do we, as an independent nation, find the need to engage foreign artists to headline the entertainment segment of our Independence celebrations? This is an egregious act and those responsible for the decision should resign, forthwith.

Charles Carter, Nicky Bethel, we know you could not possibly have been party to this decision. We hereby call on you to persuade the political directorate to rescind this most offensive decision. 

Joseph Spence, Kayla Edwards, Frederick  Munnings, Pandora Gibson, The Obeah Man, Clement Bethel, Blind Blake, Winston Saunders, Terez Hepburn, Calvin Lockhart and others must be turning in their graves. When will we mature as a people and come to embrace and nurture the talent residing within?
