Dr. Arlie Petters, Duke Professor
Nominated by Sister D
on 06/08/2009
|
Caribbean Documentary member Sister D thinks Dr. Arlie Petters, Duke Professor should be our celebrated Icon because:
Arlie Petters' achievements speak for themselves yet he has remained a humble humanitarian. With all his outstanding merits, one will also see listed in his profile, an award given to him by the Belizeans In Solidarity, Inc. in 1996. That speaks volumn in an era when most people fail to value simplicity. This, in itself will keep the memory of the Belizeans In Solidarity Inc. alive as it acts as a means of empowerment. How best to honor your fellow men, than to make mention of their virtue, if any. I am glad to have been one of the Chairpersons for the Belizeans In Solidarity, Inc. whose vision bestowed a simple awards to a dynamic icon, Dr. Petters; and, I am glad to be his friend. Thanks America, you have helped polished another gem, this time it is from my native land, Belize. Dr. Arlie Petters, continue the good work for God, you make Belizeans proud. - your sister, deanne -

on 05/28/2009

Caribbean Documentary member Sister D Williams thinks Hon. Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix should be our celebrated Icon because:
Hon. Judge Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix is a kind, considerate, fair and professional community leader. She is an heroine so humble, one would never recognize her authority simple by her gentle smile. She is a leader for the community to study, especially our young girl-children, because she symbolizes that a women can truly achieve a balance. Too often, circumstances in a woman's life may cause her to have to chose between her family and her career. However, Judge Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix has proven that life is worthy of sacrifices. WOMEN we can do it. I give God thanks for her husband, her children and those whose shoulders Judge Hinds-Radix has stood on, they have allowed her to serve her community unselfishly and proud.
