REGINALD VIDALE, chairman of the Dr Eric Williams Memorial Committee, wants portraits of Trinidad and Tobago’s first prime minister Dr Eric Williams to be placed in every school in the country.

He was delivering remarks at the committee’s 44th anniversary wreath-laying ceremony to commemorate Dr Williams’ passing at the Milford Road Esplanade, Scarborough, Tobago, on May 10.

Williams, who was also Trinidad and Tobago’s first chief minister and premier, died on March 29, 1981. He is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation.
