Cayman Island’s Alexander Bustamante
“… Hungry men and women and children have a right to call attention to their condition and to ask of people fulfillment of promises
made to them, as long as they do so without using violence or being disorderly.”
“Jamaicans are patient, trustful and law-abiding and if properly advised and treated, no one has anything to fear.”
“The conditions existing today have not sprung up overnight, but they have been left to grow worse till the situation is now acute. No steps have been taken for their amelioration.”
“What Jamaica needs is practical and sympathetic men interested in the country and its people and not charlatans and self-seekers making long speeches about nothing; men who by their handling of this country’s affairs will make such things as hunger marches unnecessary.”
