Labour Day Book GIFT and Signing with Lady Jacqueline Fawkes

 

On Wednesday June 3, 2010 Erin A. Ferguson, Host and Executive Producer of Popular and Controversial Television Show (JCN 14), Citizens’ Review accompanied by Demathio Forbes, CARICOM Youth Ambassador, were invited to "La Campanella" the Home of Lady Jacqueline Fawkes and the late Sir Randol Fawkes to receive Signed Copies of Sir Randol Fawkes’ books namely “Labour Unite or Perish”, “You Should Know your Government”, “The Bahamas Government”, and the most Famous original “The Faith that Moved the Mountain”.

Ferguson and Forbes visited with Lady Fawkes and her daughter Rosalie Fawkes and discussed the Labour Movement and its importance to the country; they also discussed the life of “The Father of Labour” and the man who provided for Majority Rule, the Late Sir Randol Fawkes. Lady Fawkes gave Mr. Ferguson one of the very few remaining copies of the book “The Faith that Moved the Mountain” with Sir Randol Fawkes original signature. Lady Fawkes comments that “Sir Randol’s Legacy will always live on and Erin is the first person I have seen in all my years, who has that bold spirit of Sir Randol in him. I am proud to see two strong young men who want to see this country move forward and I encourage them to keep pressing on.”

Mr. Ferguson commented, “This is the best gift to have received for Labour Day and I am honored that the woman who made it possible for Sir Randol to be the man that he was, thinks of my efforts well enough to give me one of the few copies of the originally signed book that she has left, and I thank her graciously.” Forbes pointed out that that “Sir Randol along with a few very prominent Caribbean leaders like Norman Manley of Jamaica, who published a book about Labour called “We Must Unite”, stood up for the rights of Labourers in very trying times, and must be recognized for there service to their respective countries but also the CARICOM Region”
