–to mini pre-Emancipation Day show

COURTS Guyana on Monday gave staff, patrons and friends an early start to this year’s Emancipation celebrations with a short cultural presentation at its Main Street outlet.
Emancipation Day is a day when Guyanese, particularly those of African descent, commemorate the ending of chattel slavery and the dawn of freedom from servitude.

The audience was kept entertained by the Happy Feet Dance Studio and a poem from former Miss Guyana World, Nuriyyih Gerrard.

There was also a display of African couture by staff of the company’s various departments, among them Finance, Commercial and Human Resources.
Mr. Eric Phillips of the African Cultural and Development Association (ACDA), in his presentation, congratulated the management and staff of Courts for taking the initiative to host the event as Guyana commemorates yet another anniversary since the Proclamation of Emancipation.

The cultural presentation concluded with winners exhibiting their attire for the audience.
