#130 During the twentieth century, the Caribbean region produced several outstanding thinkers, whose works have had a lasting effect on world history. Perhaps, the most important of this group is Cyril Lionel Robert James, affectionately known as CLR James, who was born in Trinidad in 1901, and died in England in 1989. CLR James' work covered a wide spectrum of issues, politics, history, cricket, literature, popular culture, to name a few. On this edition of CaribNation Television, we focus on the life of this man who, when he died, was compared to the revered Greek Philosopher, Plato. Who was this man that had the courage to condemn Stalin and Stalinism at a time when it was not fashionable to do so in leftist circle; and to debate the great Russian Revolutionary thinker Trotski on the issue of the condition of African people. Who was he that fought single handedly to appoint the first black man to captain the West Indies Cricket Team, Sir Frank Worrell. To answer these and other questions, we have put together a panel of CLR Scholars: Professor Acklyn Lynch, Ph.D. of the Department of African- American Study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Professor Gregory Rigsby, Ph.D., of the Department of English at the University of the District of Columbia; and Professor Anthony Bognes from the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica.
