Abstract
In this report St. Lucia's Deputy Policy Commissioner Francis Nelson hoped that the death penalty would serve as a deterrent after the hanging of convicted criminal Joseph Solomon. Pete Ninvalle reports on whether this hanging signals a return to capital punishment in St. Lucia. While US Senators discussed the Helms-Burton bill aimed at tightening the US embargo against Cuba, condemnation of this bill came from the 5th Summit of Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese leaders. In Guyana, reports on alleged secret talks with the Venezuelan government over the border dispute issue were denied. Haiti's Prime Minister Smarck Michel has resigned since he was under fire for sweeping plans to sell off state-run enterprises. Lessons from Washington's Million Man March are examined as analysts ask what happens next? In Britain, the local branch of the Nation of Islam called on blacks to wake up. Meanwhile, in Washington, some black Americans had their say in response to the Million Man March. From Marcus Garvey to Colin Powell, a Caribbean background appears to help black Americans. Leslie Goffe reports on the Caribbean connection of black American leaders.
