Community Leadership and the legacy of Patrick Manning One Year On ... Former PM of Trinidad and Tobago dies of Leukemia

 It was Patrick Manning who coined the term Community Leader. On his one year death anniversary, Patrick Manning's influence on Trinidad and Tobago's politics continue to resonate. This C Monologue of April 2003: Career Opportunity: Community Leader satirically captures the origin of the term Community Leader in its contemporary association with gangsterism and their legitimization through political association as implied then in its use by Patrick Manning. C Monologues was one of my regular columns. It appeared on the editorial ages of the Sunday Guardian. The columns were sometimes also illustrated by a relevant cartoon. This cartoon that accompanied Career Opportunity: Community Leader in this C Monologue by Kris Rampersad connect contemporary ‘community leadership’ with the ongoing issue of violence in the schools.
