Tonight, we welcome back to Afrika Speaks legendary activist and Freedom Fighter Baba Buddy Larrier.
Baba Buddy Larrier has been on the battlefront for almost fifty years fighting state power and articulating a vision of Afrikan Redemption for our people in the UK and the Caribbean. Currently, he is seeking the resolution of a forty-six-year-old case against the Health Authority.
He has been at the forefront of the Reparations Movement fight against maltreatment of Afrikans in the UK under the Mental Health Act and a advocate of the Windrush Compensation Scheme. (1)
For the coming year Baba Buddy urges “serious family conversations, create spaces for the elderly and the youth to meet and to share experiences” in order to start the healing process after 530 years of this phase of our genocide. It is a must hear message.
