Dear Editor,
In Berbice, the annual journey to Highbury on the East Bank of the Berbice River had been done on the holiday (May 5) itself. This year the organizers sought to do things differently to suit their own purposes. This time around, the Highbury celebrations were brought forward to Sunday, May 4 – a day before to make way for the big event that would have been held the following day at the Albion Sports Complex on the Corentyne. So I ask the question: when really did East Indians arrive at Plantation Highbury? Was it May 4 or May 5? If the latter, then why are the organizers trying to rewrite and change and alter the history?
