Fidel Grant, took a look back at the history of the Labour Party against the backdrop of Dominica&#8217;s fluctuating circumstances, weaving what they say is a thread of progression, through various hardships, built on Douglas&#8217; legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Held at the State House Conference Room on Thursday, the event marked the 25th Anniversary of\u00a0 Douglas&#8217; death.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers describe the Memorial Lecture as a meaningful platform to reflect on his contributions to nation-building and the empowerment of small states.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalves, as key note speaker, relayed an essentially optimistic assessment, saying that despite the challenges Dominica has faced over the years, the country has still managed to survive and is thriving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have lost so many leaders in Dominica, \u00a0bananas collapsed, Hurricane David, \u00a0Hurricane Allen, \u00a0Hurricane Maria, \u00a0the global economic crisis, \u00a0we have battered \u00a0COVID, \u00a0occasional droughts, \u00a0all the vagaries of climate change, \u00a0the harshness of the external world, \u00a0and through it all, \u00a0we have survived and we are thriving,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have much \u00a0to be thankful for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He believes Dominica\u2019s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, \u201chelped to take us through that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDo not\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">underestimate any of that. Do not get carried away by vanities, &#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, he balanced his assertions by confessing:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To be sure, we all have complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Acting Prime Minister Fidel Grant emphasized that the late Rosie Douglas\u2019s vision is what brought the Dominica Labour Party into office after 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwenty-five years later, we are standing on a foundation that he built,\u201d Grant stated. \u201cAnd I believe that every Labourite can be proud of the work \u00a0that we have continued 25 years later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he pointed out that the work was resumed by the late Pierre Charles and is continuing now with the Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is often said that this Dominican Labour Party, this Labour Party cabinet, this new cabinet, has shifted from the vision of the late Rosie Douglas. And this is far from the truth,\u201d Grant argued.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, he explained that education was a passion of the late Rosie Douglas, citing proof that the current government has taken up the mantle in his wake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is evident in the policies of this current administration.\u00a0 And we saw this with the universal access to secondary school, \u00a0the free tuition to the college, \u00a0and the one graduate per household across \u00a0Dominica,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Another point he prefaced was that the late Rosie Douglas was passionate about housing, again listing his administration&#8217;s accomplishments in this area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd at this time, I must recognize the efforts of comrade Reginald Austrie for the work that he has done in housing,\u201d he remarked. \u201c Ladies and gentlemen, it was this administration building on the vision of the late Rosie Douglas that offered squatters a dollar a square foot. It was this administration who offered 2 percent loans to public servants. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Grant added, \u201cIt is this very administration who offered free housing to the people of Dominica. And just last week, we handed 21 homes in the Soufriere constituency, and that is building on the vision of the late Rosie Douglas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosie Douglas, following a long, distinguished career in politics and activism, died on October 1, 2000, just eight months after being elected Prime Minister of Dominica in the national elections held on January 31 that same year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; At this year\u2019s annual Roosevelt \u2018Rosie\u2019 Douglas Memorial Lecture, featured speakers Prime Minister of St Vincent &amp; the Grenadines, Dr Ralph Gonsalves and Acting prime Minister of Dominica, Hon.
