Who is Makandal Daaga?
Makandal Daaga, born Geddes Granger, is a Trinidad and Tobago political activist and former revolutionary. He is also a son of Gaskynd Granger, and cousin of David A. Granger. He was the leader of the 1970 Black Power Revolution. During the unrest he was arrested and charged. The name Makandal Daaga can be traced back to his ancestral roots in Africa. He rallied against inequalities towards black citizens in Trinidad. Today because of the effort of Dagaa, Clive Nunez and many others that partook and died in the struggle black people can now work in banks, lead and can achieve the same status that only white citizens were capable of achieving.
Granger founded the National Joint Action Committee, a now-quiescent political party.
