A
Tragedy of Errors: Just
2 or 3 days after the tragedy, while families search for dead or missing relatives,
their countrymen and women go dancing at the Belvedere disco, G/town
on May 29, 1964. This may explain why many Guyanese still do not recognise
Wismar was a tragedy.
"Let
us all plan to ban violence as a means of solving political problems."
—Forbes
Burnham, on May 30, 1964
