A peaceful community

THE EDITOR: Why all this racial hatred and talk about ethnic origin, etc? We are all Trinidadians of Trinbagonians — a unique people of many races and creeds who have lived together in harmony for many generations, and stand as an example to the rest of mankind.

Over the past 80 years I have lived in many parts of Trinidad and have been living in Trincity for the past 37 years. The people of our community are mostly of African origin and my wife (Indo-Chinese) and I have always got along well with all of our neighbours. In fact, they are among the best friends we have. People from outside who visit Trincity are impressed with the peacefulness and cleanliness of the environment. That is because the householders all take a pride in their surroundings. A contributing factor may also be due to the fact that we live in close proximity to the Tacarigua Savannah, the Eddie Hart playground and the Indoor Hockey Stadium for recreational activities. We are, indeed, a peaceful and happy community and intend to keep it that way.
