What does Independence mean to you?

We often use foreign quotations but occasionally someone in T&T creates a gem worthy of praise.

Of the many responses to the question posed in this article's title, the most touching to me for fluency, rhythm and meaning that surpasses and belies its brevity has been:

'Take the image of a maypole. Everyone in T&T is holding a string with his name on it. What we're trying to do is make the perfect weave. That is what Independence is about.' - renowned T&T artist LeRoy Clarke

So poignant, I almost paused breathing to think about it. If you understand his words, you'd wonder at the immense power they contain. Make it happen.
