Remembering 1990: Why and how should we?
Dennis McComie was at work as Broadcaster/Producer at Radio 610 on St Abercromby Street in Port of Spain when the violence began. The second edition of his “1990, The Personal Account of a Journalist under Siege”, published on the eve of the commemoration, will provide the context for the timely discussion, which includes McComie; commissioner of the Commission of Enquiry into the events surrounding the 1990 attempted coup Diana Mahabir-Wyatt; veteran journalist Andy Johnson; and performer, dubbed one of the ‘children of the coup’, Muhammad Muwakil; moderated by journalist Sterling Henderson.
Be sure to tune in on time to catch the bonus pre-panel book chat featuring McComie and the book’s co-author and editor Adrian Pinheiro in conversation with Sterling Henderson from 5.30pm sharp!
