The first part of a meeting at the West Indian Sports and Social Centre, Longsight , Manchester in response to the tragic developments in Grenada - the killings of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and three other ministers of the New Jewel Movement by people in their own party and the invasion by US troops. The meeting is convened by Grenada Overseas Association, a non-political organisation and addressed by Gus John and others. Gus John introduces himself as a member of Race Today, New Jewel Movement and others and gives a cogent description of the events leading to the current situation. He talks about Bernard Cord and his support for many pro-Western positions in the world - Zionism, Ian Smith in Rhodesia, etc. |
