In honor of President Kennedy New Street in Roseau was renamed Kennedy Avenue by the Roseau Town Council on the urging of then Roseau Mayor Stafford \u201cStar\u201d Lestrade.<\/p>\n<p>Today, November 22, 2023,\u00a0 marks the 6oth anniversary of JFK\u2019s tragic passing. However, the beauty of his vision for peaceful engagement among nations lives on in the work of the US Peace Corps and its volunteers. The\u00a0 US Peace corps was the born of the visionary\u00a0 thinking of then presidential candidate senator John F. Kennedy. At an October 14, 1960, campaign rally\u00a0 in Ann Arbor, he urged the University of Michigan students in attendance to volunteer their time to assist countries in the developing world. He asked the students gathered to volunteer to change the world for the better. Once in office the United States Peace Corps was officially inaugurated on March 1, 1961.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two amazing Humanitarians &amp; Peace Corps Volunteers\u00a0 \u2013 Ron Green &amp; Bob Maguire<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-313194 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jfk2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jfk2.png 247w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/jfk2-226x300.png 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ronald Milner Green \u2013 Peace Corps Volunteer in Nigeria (1962-1964)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The US Peace Corps offered a service platform to two amazing humanitarians.

Ron later traveled to Nigeria as a Peace Corps Volunteer in 1962. After serving his time as a professor at a teacher\u2019s college in northern Nigeria, Ron Green returned to complete his master\u2019s degree in education at Columbia University where he commenced pre-doctoral studies. Ron later joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and traveled to Mississippi to organize African Americans to secure their voting and other civil rights. During his time in development work, Ron Green met eminent civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael. In 1995 Ronald Green became Minister of Education in the United Workers Party led administration and pioneered universal secondary education.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2023 interview Ronald Green gives insight to the Dominica of his childhood and his journey to the United States as an unaccompanied child, with his name and destination in Harlem, New York pinned to his jacket.

Within months of this arrival Maguire sat on his porch at Piveteau Street in Pottersville, guitar in hand (and a pen and paper near him) and produced one of the most popular songs on the island: <strong><em>Dominica \u2013 Land of Beauty<\/em><\/strong>.

They were both inspired by Kennedy\u2019s vision of peaceful engagement with the world. Kennedy was of the view that US engagement with the developing world would be much more successful where investments were made in education, health and community development as opposed to military adventurism and war. There are many who believe that he had decided to disengage from the ruinous conflict in Vietnam. We shall never know how different the world would have been but for his tragic assassination on November 22, 1963.<\/p>\n<p>In one of his last speeches, made at American University in Washington, D.C on June 10, 1963, Kennedy said:<\/p>\n<p><strong>I speak of peace because of the new face of war&#8230;when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the allied air forces in World War II&#8230;I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war &#8212; and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent tasks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy we honor the great things he did. Aside from his efforts in civil rights, advancing world peace,\u00a0 space travel (he was the US President who announced the plans for the moon landing which was realized in 1969) he was the father of the US Peace Corps.<\/p>\n<p>Today, because of the vision of Ron Green and those in the ministry of education at that time, high school education on Dominica is within reach of almost every child. Ron Green had related to me that when he became Dominica\u2019s Minister of Education in 1995 only 33% of age eligible students on Dominica attended high school. It was that troubling statistic that inspired him to successfully push for universal secondary education.\u00a0 Bob Maguire\u2019s song, <strong><em>Dominica: Land of Beauty,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 is played on Q95 Radio every afternoon during\u00a0 Matt Peltier\u2019s program &#8220;Talk on the Block.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maguire continues his involvement\u00a0 in Dominican society more than fifty years after he visited the island and maintains a home there. We give thanks for the noble\u00a0work of Ron Green and Bob Maguire in humanitarian and development causes. Their orientation towards helping others was nurtured by their service as US Peace Corps volunteers. That enlightened vision of young men and women serving overseas to educate others, or advance community development, provides much value in a world convulsed by war. Kennedy was also someone who sought disarmament, an end to nuclear testing in the atmosphere, and a\u00a0 departure from military adventurism. In this moment it is wise to reflect on the humanitarian vision of President John F. Kennedy. We shall remember him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy (JFK) was assassinated.
