My sympathy goes out to the deceased family. It's a strategic move on the part of the NDC government and mission in New York. I hope we as a people would one day do the same to commemorate the myriads of contributions to our country made by the late Minister of Peace Maurice Bishop. His accomplishment within a 3 year span surpassed that of all out leaders, including Keith Mitchell, Gairy, Brizan, Blaize, Ben Jones, Tillman THomas and Brathwaite. It's time we do more to celebrate the the memory of Maurice.
