Description |
A meeting about Grenada following a film show at WFA in Manchester. Gus John gives a talk about the events in Grenada following 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. He talks about the toppling of the dictator Garey, the composition of the New Jewel Movement (NJM) from many diverse backgrounds and the heated debates about its direction in the context of the need to take the masses of people with them, and some of the failings to achieve this. |
