ALEX BRUNO HOUSTON SPEECH: TO BE DOMINICAN AFTER 41 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

Mr Alex Bruno, a political science major, gave a powerful speech in Houston in light of Dominica's 41 years of Independence. He stressed on the thought and asked the question, "what really does it mean to be dominican?" Not only just dominican, but a Dominican after 41 years of Independence? Are we living up to the standards and expectations of growth society of both in self awarenes and/or country? Are we falling by the wayside or building the way? Are we claiming defeat in the eyes of adversities or are we learning to build strength for a better tomorrow? What does it mean to be dominican in this world we all are living in, even amongst other nationalities? Do we stand out or have we stood down and been ashamed? These are the questions I believe every Dominican should ask themselves as we ponder on FORTY-ONE YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE. One question that I would like to ask though and that is are we truly independent as a people and a country after 41 years of Independence? What are your thoughts Mr Alex Bruno?
