“While we figure out how we live together, in these Virgin Islands while simultaneously ensuring, constitutionally, the protection, the preservation, and the perpetuation of the descendants of former slaves.”
“And I don't believe that anyone who live among us of goodwill, will not be able to understand nor come to appreciate why that is so critical and is at the heart and core of these Virgin Islands, because we have nowhere else to go, this is our home,” he added.
Skelton-Cline said as the VI welcomes
persons, it must build better, stronger systems that put the local
culture, history and it's celebration on display.
