Dear Editor,
After you published my letter about 12 great men, some of your readers inquired of me why I did not include any Guyanese on the list like Cheddi Jagan, Eusi Kwayana, Walter Rodney and Sir Shridath Ramphal.
Of course Cheddi was a great Caribbean and South American man who was probably before his time, because when he started to educate people about the evil of colonialism and capitalism some did not understand him, and some understood him so well they worked against what he stood for. Nevertheless, he triumphed.
Kwayana also stood and struggled for the same goal as Cheddi, while Rodney no doubt would have done much greater things had he not been assassinated. Sir Shridath came good after he broke away from Burnham.
With regard to the 12 I wrote about, their impact on this world was so powerful they became bigger than life and altered the course of history.
Yours faithfully,
WP George
