PLP to celebrate its 50th birthday

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11: The Progressive Labour Party will be hosting its 50th Annual Founders' Day Luncheon & Drum Major Awards this Sunday, February 17, 2013 at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess.

Beginning at 2pm, the afternoon will feature Guest Speaker, Mr. Eugene Johnston.  

Mr. Johnston is a young lawyer, whose workload has had an emphasis on public law, constitutional matters, and human rights.  

Mr. Johnston is also well known for speaking in various forums on the subjects of African culture, racism and white supremacy and its current impact, and on black economics and empowerment. He has also been a guest on various radio talk shows.

Following Mr. Johnston's address, Drum Major Awards will be given out to various recipients. These drum majors are members of the community that have worked tirelessly in the community.  The PLP has annually honoured some of these members of the community for their contribution.

There will be remarks from various Party members and the afternoon will also feature entertainment.
