We need to preserve these buildings for future generations to know about our colonial past & what our forefathers had to endure.

Wonderful back story. Thanks for posting. #cultureliveshere

Correction at minute 5.22 the text says "Trinidad" becomes a Republic. That is obviously an error and should read "Trinidad and Tobago"

[@theparliamentchannel5012]

Hello Margaret. You are correct, it should read Trinidad and Tobago, however, that text was on the original archival video and was not placed there by the Parliament Channel.

Ok but it def looks like an error so other people might have the same reaction. Thanks for replying!

Restore them & use them as gov't offices instead of paying rent to buildings owned by businessmen & politicians (like Faris Alwari & others)
