Janet Jagan – the Freedom Fighter

Kaieteur News: "In an interview for the documentary film on her life “Thunder in Guyana” Mrs. Janet Jagan said she wanted the headlines to portray her as a “Freedom Fighter.”
Indeed, for all her life she fought for freedom – freedom to make her own choices, freedom to marry a ‘Black man”, freedom for Guyana and its people, and freedom from those who vilified her.
Her 20 months in office as the President of Guyana following the December 15, 1997 elections was perhaps one of the most testing period in her life, when the opposition demonised her, and White dolls representing her were burnt on the streets of the capital."
