Pro Vice-Chancellor and Campus Principal at the University of the West Indies St. Augustine Campus, Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine, expressed her gratitude for what she described as the invaluable contributions of Historian Professor Brinsley Samaroo.
Professor Belle Antoine said Professor Samaroo’s legacy extends far beyond his authored books and research journals, as he exemplified the true essence of an unselfish and conscious academic.
The UWI Campus Principal said his commitment extended beyond the confines of the campus, as he actively engaged with communities, including our First Peoples, generously sharing his knowledge.
He had the special touch to make history vibrant and urgent and his absence will be deeply felt by all those who had the privilege of knowing him.”
