The United Black Association for Development (UBAD) was founded in 1969 in Belize to promote black nationalism and advocate for issues important to Creole and Garifuna communities. UBAD established the newspaper Amandala in 1969 and advocated for teaching African and Indian history in schools, expanding voting rights, and independent radio. Though UBAD dissolved in 1974 due to divisions, its legacy continued through organizations like KREM Radio and Amandala newspaper, which were founded on UBAD's principles of black consciousness and revolution.

Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign island city-state in Southeast Asia.
It is located at the end of the Malayan Peninsula between Malaysia and Indonesia.
Singapore has a total land area of 724.2 square kilometers.
Singapore's territory consists of one main island along with 58 other islets.

Now, 90% of citizens in Singapore own their houses.
Urban planning in Singapore has formulated and guided its physical development from the day Singapore was founded in 1819 as a British colony to the developed, independent country it is today.
Urban planning is especially important due to land constraints and its high density.

The early 1960s in America was fraught with fear looming over from .docxssuser454af01
The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan
Another notable musician, and also an American, Bob Dylan also helped shape the countercultural structure of the 1960's. Dylan, who is still recording music today, started o.
A. Philip Randolph represented the perfect blend between the civil rights and labor communities. Randolph fully understood the struggle for human and civil rights should involve all of the tools and resources that we had at our disposal. Indeed, Mr. Randolph was the conscience of organized labor in that he sought to get the trade union movement to set its own house in order. He urged and challenged organized labor to join in the struggle of African Americans for freedom and equality. A. Philip Randolph helped to draft the “strongest statement of labor’s position on civil rights ever to come before a convention of the AFL-CIO.” Randolph, the labor leader and civil rights leader was also called a dreamer of dreams.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. February 9 marked 44
years since the founding
of the United Black
Association for
Development (UBAD)
UBAD contributor
(deceased)
4. The UBAD movement made a small but important contribution to Garifuna
culture in Belize by reviving in 1969 the basic black nationalism which
had swept across British Honduras fifty years before in the form of Marcus
Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA).
(Garifuna icon, Thomas Vincent Ramos, who founded Garifuna Settlement
Day in 1941, was a UNIA member.)
BLACK
NATIONALISM:
Creoles and Garinagu
5. Six months its creation, UBAD raised the
money to buy a Gestetner machine to
establish a newspaper.
That newspaper was called AMANDALA –
the nation‟s leading newspaper, birthed on
August 13, 1969.
Even after UBAD was divided, and later
dissolved in 1974, AMANDALA remained.
6. Lionel Clarke was the first president
of UBAD. After he migrated to the
US, Amandala publisher, Evan X
Hyde, became the second president
of UBAD in March 1969.
He was 21 years old.
Hyde later became president of
the UBAD Party for Freedom,
Justice and Equality.

in February 1970.
They were tried in

Charles X Eagan, also known as “Justice” and later known as Ibrahim Abdullah,
was also one of 10 UBAD founders.
8. The AMANDALA of February 20, 1970, ran a
critical article of an election petition heard and
dismissed in the Supreme Court after General
Elections on December 5, 1969 – won by the
PUP.

9. 21st February, 1970
Mr. Albert Staines, Esq.,
Director of Public Prosecution,
Regent Street,
Belize City.
Dear Director,
Long and many are the violations of our laws by almost every
newspaper in the country. Each infraction of the law that has gone
unnoticed has encouraged bolder and bolder steps until what is a very
serious breach of our Criminal Code now emerges on the front page of
Amandala No. 17 of the 20th February, 1970, entitled “Games Old
People Play.” (Copy enclosed.)
In respect of this article I would wish to draw your attention to the
offence of Seditious Libel, section 244 of the Code and Seditious
Conspiracy, section 245 and the definitions relating thereto.
I feel that as officers of the Court we would be guilty of grave neglect of
our duty for its protection and preservation, if we allow so important an
institution to come to disrepute at the hands of any publisher.
Yours faithfully,
(V. H. COURTENAY)
Attorney General
10. What were some of the things
that UBAD advocated for?
CAUSES
16. • Organized for needy children.
• Food was transported to UBAD headquarters near Hyde's Lane.
• A bakery called UBAFU (Garifuna word meaning „power‟) was also
established.
• Its demise was said to be due to lack of financing.
BREAKFAST
PROGRAM
18. In October 1969, UBAD and the People‟s Action
Committee (PAC) merged to form the Revolitical
Action Movement (RAM) at Rockville on the Western
Highway.
This was reflected in the newspaper‟s masthead, as
AMANDALA became “Amandala with Fire”
UBAD AND POLITICS
19. Around September/October of 1971, Goldson‟s National
Independence Party (NIP) approached the UBAD Party with a
coalition offer for the December 1971 Belize City Council
election. In this election, the NIP offered six candidates and the
UBAD Party, three.
-- Evan X Hyde, AMANDALA, June 7, 2013
UBAD AND POLITICS
20. After UBAD split in two in 1975, and half of its leadership helped
spark the new United Democratic Party‟s rise to political strength in
1974, Mr. Price reached out to the other half of UBAD, the faction
which had remained independent. This was the faction led by Evan
X Hyde, publisher/editor of AMANDALA, who had run as the only
UBAD candidate in the Collet constituency in the October 1974
general elections.
UBAD AND POLITICS
21. The history shows that, of the four political parties which began the
process of unification, the UBAD Party ended up with the least. In fact,
I would say personally that the UBAD ended up with nothing, nothing
except division and destruction.
-- Evan X Hyde, AMANDALA, 28 June 2013
UBAD AND POLITICS
22. THE REBELLION
OF MAY 1972
Conditions of oppression were such in 1972 that a faction of the UBAD
movement became violent and nihilistic on the night of May 29, 1972.
That violent faction of UBAD clearly did not know where they were going with the
spontaneous uprising, only that the politico-socio-economic conditions were such
that those conditions had to be rejected, by any means necessary.
-- Evan X Hyde, AMANDALA, 28 June 2013
23. The important thing to understand about May 29
of 1972 is that the young people of the
population center were at a higher level of
political education than they had ever been.
Although the voting age was still at 21 in 1972
(it would be reduced to 18 in 1978), one
of the three UBAD Party candidates had topped
the nine candidate NIP/UBAD coalition slate in
December of 1971. UBAD was a
unique political party, because there were no
party financiers.
- Evan X Hyde, AMANDALA, 27 May 2010
24. On May 29, 1972, a demonstration in Belize City organized
by UBAD became violent in the night. The violence began
with the stoning of the Guatemalan Consulate, which was
on Albert Street (between Church and Bishop Streets) at
the time. The evidence in Supreme Court five months later
indicated that a UBAD officer and two UBAD members had
taken matters further than Albert and Regent Streets,
where mass violence against stores and commercial
establishments had taken place. Norman Fairweather,
Edwardo Burns and Michael Hyde (deceased) were
acquitted by jury of attempted arson and damage to public
property in the October 1972 session of the Supreme
Court. The Crown prosecution charged, among other
things, that the UBAD trio had attacked and battered Radio
Belize transmitting equipment on Princess Margaret Drive.
-- Evan X Hyde, ibid
25. UBAD dissolved…
Hyde wrote in AMANDALA column dated
November 8, 1974, an article entitled
"Farewell to Arms".
29. KREM + AMANDALA
(KREM was to be Amandala radio…)
THE RISE OF
KREMANDALA
A professional media organization, was built on the foundation provided by
a black-conscious, revolutionary organization called UBAD
30. The idea for the KREM Radio station originated in
early 1979 while Rufus X and I were visiting New
Orleans…. Campaigning to get back into power in
1989, the PUP decided they would now support the
so-called Radio Amandala concept. The PUP won in
September of 1989, and KREM began broadcasting
on November 17, 1989.
