Karl and Faye Rodney, in recognition of their leadership in building bridges of understanding and economic development, between the United States and the circum- Caribbean region via the annual Caribbean Multi-national Business Conference. The launching and tribute celebration will be held at The Institute for Pan- American Affairs, 216 Hall Street, Brooklyn, New York 11205 on Friday, February 5, 2010 from 7pm - 9pm. The creation of a Caribbean-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (CALDEF) the brainchild of Dr. Marco Mason, community activist and the retired co- founder of Caribbean Women Health Association. Dr. Mason says, “The anticipated demographic shift from the ‘2010 Census places African descendants in a precarious position; hence the dire need for a public advocacy and litigation services, which have been grossly inadequate to meet the needs, to protect and defend the rights of the expansive Caribbean American community.” For registration information contact Saria Toppin at 718-926-6269 / info@caldef.org.
