The People’s National Party (PNP) has joined in expressing solidarity to the protests over the police killing of George Floyd.
Dr. Phillips said in a statement, “For a long time, we have been joined together in the struggle against slavery and its effects, racism, and the denigration of people of color.
We recall the works and words of people like Marcus Garvey and Claude McKay, Jamaicans who made their life in America, and who struggled against the effects of racism.”
He added that for too long the injustice against people of color has been supported by systemic racism that robs too many of basic human decency, opportunities to advance, and even their incontrovertible right to life.
Meanwhile, PNP General Secretary Julian Robinson said the party stands in solidarity with the increasing mass of peaceful protesters around the world, but especially those in cities throughout the United States proclaiming that “Black Lives Matter”, in support of the movement to end racial discrimination.
