Maurice Bishop "Speaks from Hunter College 6/83"


  • (Grenada's Prime Minister) MAURICE BISHOP SPEAKS TO U.S. WORKING PEOPLE
  • June 5th 1983
  • Hunter College, New York City
  • Sharing the Experience of the Last Four Years in Grenada
  • "The last time I had the opportunity, sisters and brothers, comrades, of being in New York and addressing our Grenadian nationals, other people from the Caribbean and Latin America, and of course the people of the United States was four years ago. Since those four years have passed, a lot has happened in our country. A lot has happened in the world. And one of the reasons that we have come to the United States is to share our experiences of the last four years with the people of the United States. "
  • "We were anxious to do this because there has been a major campaign over the last several weeks and months - starting from last year in November with some remarks by the U.S. vice-president in Miami, continuing with more remarks from the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the deputy secretary of defense, the admiral of the fleet. The president himself, as you know, on the tenth of March addressing manufacturers; on the twenty-third of March in the famous, or infamous, Star Wars speech; and more recently again to the joint session of Congress on the twenty-seventh of April. And in all these, different allegations were made against our country."
  • We must always remember Grenada and the words that Maurice Bishop spoke at Hunter College in New York on June 5, 1983. Mr. Bishop said, "Our people, therefore, have a greater and deeper understanding of what the revolution means and what it has brought them."
