The story of the journey of the Merikins by Adam Walters, Caitlyn Kamminga and featuring original artwork by Che Lovelace. Intended to engage audiences as it informs, this is a tale of the journey of the African American slaves who fought with the British in the War of 1812 in exchange for freedom and land. Following the war the ex-soldiers were given 16 acres of land in the south of Trinidad. According to their ancestors, these men were proud of being American and were known from then on as the 'Merikins'
Performed by the UTT Musicians, Michael Cherrie, Krisson Joseph and guest piannist Mia Gormandy. Conducted by Maestro Kwame Ryan
