US Congressman Hakeem Jeffries has once again spoken out about what he termed as racism here saying that the US will take all steps necessary “to get things moving in a fairer more equitable direction” in Guyana.
Jeffries, who is a Democrat and represents New York’s 8th congressional district has made similar comments before without adducing evidence.
Addressing Seventh-day Adventist members at a church in New York on an occasion called Guyana Day last Saturday, Jeffries, who is Chairman of the Congressional Democratic Caucus and a rising star in the Democratic Party, described the Guyanese community in the US as hard working, entrepreneurial, family-oriented, community-centred and spiritually sound.
