I am glad to see Anjali back, she was away for quite sometime
Next one.
Who was the first ever Afro-Guyanese lawmaker?
ok I have 2 names:
Mr. Ashton Chase
Mr. Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham
will be bk later
No.
ok, another name: Mr. Alex Benjamin Brown.
That's right, Honourable Anjali.
In 1896, A. B. Brown became the first black legislator to be elected to the Court of Policy, as the National Assembly was then called. A. B. Brown had introduced bills on the improvement of the colony's education system. He served until 1921 and died in 1939.
Congrats!!
TRIVIA: In Guyana's National Archives you will find a newspaper article on A. B. Brown, written by yours truly Gilbakka.
Look's like National Archives need to be on
the internet,i searched google and can't find
any info.
Ok Django, will tell you how I figured out what I need to look for:
Lawmakers make law.
Laws are made in parliament/national assembly.
So therefore I need to find the first afro Guyanese parliamentarian/mp:
parliamentary tradition and ...
- Mar 13, 2009 - Frank Alston Narain was associated with Guyana's Parliament from 1851 ... J's? The first Afro-Guyanese M.P. was Alex Benjamin Brown (1891) .
Lovely parliamentary trivia β¦
Expectedly, humour, levity, even the strange and the ridiculous happened during Mr Narainβs half-century serving the Parliaments.
For example, Do you know that: the first women legislators were the PPPβs three Jβs? The first Afro-Guyanese M.P. was Alex Benjamin Brown (1891) And the first Amerindian, Stephen Campbell (1957)? The wife of a former President herself became President? The brother of an Attorney-General (PPP) became a PNC legislator? Two cousins were legislators β one PPP, one PNC.

Who established the first high school that offered free tuition to Guyanese boys and girls and what was the name of that school?
Good morning .
Mr. Alfred Athiel Thorne.
The Middle School.
Correct answer.
In 1894, Alfred A. Thorne founded The Middle School and didn't charge students any fee. According to Wikipedia, "The school broke many barriers, enrolling both boys and girls and providing tuition-free private educational opportunity to the poor and underprivileged. The private school became known for the high-quality education it provided. It was on par with Queen's College and Bishop's High School." This man deserves a monument.
Congrats!!
