Region 10 Chairman Sharma Solomon on Thursday announced that the residents of Linden will be taking steps themselves to rebuild the school which was razed by fire at the weekend. The One Mile Primary School, which housed more than 800 students, was destroyed early Sunday morning in what is suspected to be an arson attack. The police say they were unable to proceed with charges against an individual who had been held on suspicion because of insufficient evidence. “On Sunday coming the people of Linden will start to clear the grounds of that building and we will start to rebuild that school ourselves. We’ve already had significant input with regards to finding the estimates and already start to acquire materials to rebuild that school,” Solomon stated at a news briefing in Georgetown. Spokespeople for the protesters have denied that the fire was set by them since it was their children who would be affected the most. Meanwhile, the chairman added that the “demilitarisation” of Linden was a criterion for Linden to return to the normalcy for which the government has been calling. “Normalcy as we would classify it includes the demilitarisation of the community. You cannot ask for things to return to post-July 1 without understanding that that also includes demilitarising the community. That is a condition that the people of the community have attached towards the normalcy,” he stated. The chairman also called for a cessation of aggression against residents while adding that there appeared to be a quasi-curfew in the community though none had been declared. “Young men and women are being harassed and their constitutional rights are being violated. You can’t walk the streets in Linden at the moment after a certain hour,” Solomon said. The news briefing which was held in the city, occurred simultaneously with the President Donald Ramotar’s visit to Linden of which the Solomon and his team were unaware of before a public announcement by the Office of the President Thursday morning. Solomon dismissed the visit as another government ploy to “divide and rule” Lindeners.

We will rebuild our school, no need for the help of the Government.
Linden is our town, the Primary School that was burnt is our school and the students of that School is our children. We love our children and care about their future so yes we will rebuild our school.
We don't care what anyone say, we've been working very hard over the past month and our Heavenly Father is with us all the way, so it's about time....

The word “Negro” is used in the English-speaking world to refer to a person of black ancestry or appearance. The word negro denotes 'black' in the Spanish and Portuguese speaking vocabulary, or from the ancient Latin, niger, 'black', probably from a Proto-Indo-European root *nekw-, 'to be dark', akin to *nokw- 'night'.[1][2]
"Negro" superseded "colored" as the most polite terminology, at a time when "black" was more offensive.[3] This usage was accepted as normal, even by people classified as Negroes, until the later Civil Rights movement in the late 1960s. One well-known example is the identification by Martin Luther King, Jr. of his own race as 'Negro' in his famous 1963 speech I Have a Dream.
