When I attended Tuskegee University, I was a member of the Student Alumni Association. At the beginning of December the association would organise an annual ceremony called the lighting of the Christmas tree.

We must know our neighbours
Lorna M. George
The [British] Virgin Islands is a melting pot. There are people from other Caribbean islands, North and South America, Canada, United Kingdom, Indians from India, Guyanese Indians, Chinese, Philipines etc. It is imperative that we know our neighbours if we are to love, appreciate and understand each other with our different cultures, customs and religious beliefs.
Do not let others push you down

There is an old adage that says, “Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise.”
Love & control is not the same
By Lorna M. George
I grew up in a well-off family in Long Look, but there was hardly any love in my family. We were reared by housekeepers, and we had all that money could buy and more. My father paid one aunt to comb four little girls hair; he paid another aunt to launder his clothes and iron them etc. My father would often say, “I love my children, but yet he controlled us with an iron fist.

We are all created equal
Lorna M. George
As I grew up in the [British] Virgin Islands many years ago, the norm of the day was to look down one’s nose on another based on his/her family background. Sad to say our parents and many persons of the day they not know better. Of course, we all drink and eat through our mouths and use the bathroom through our anus; however, it is hard to come to the light when we are surrounded with utter darkness.
