Who made the decision to remove Walter Rodney’s name from the National Archives and when was the change made? These questions and more remain unanswered several days after WPA elder Eusi Kwayana brought the issue to public attention via a letter.

In his letter, which was published in the Stabroek News, Kwayana, stated that he had been informed “that a big stick has removed the name of the celebrated scholar and that the name is now, once again, The National Archives.”
