Tributes for Barbara Gloudon, veteran hailed as icon jamaica-gleaner.com/article/… via @jamaicagleaner
Those who know, know. Barbara Gloudon was a remarkable Jamaican. Her contributions can never be fully measured: art, journalism, culture, politics. Done with care and love for the people she was proud to call her own. Walk good MsG. Miss you nuff.

This interview fittingly occurred on Malcolm X’s birthday. It was a tremendous privilege for me to be in conversation about Malcolm and many other life lessons with the remarkable Lebert Bethune.
Watch Jamaican poet, documentary filmmaker, author and educator, Lebert Bethune, talks to historian Matthew J. Smith @SenMattye, about Lebert's legacy and films, 'Jojolo' and 'Malcolm X: Struggle for Freedom.' For @AfricanFilmFest's Film Africa program.
