Suana Sookdeo has been selected by The University of the West Indies Faculty of Law to be the second recipient of the Makandal Daaga Scholarship. This scholarship is named in honour of Makandal Daaga, liberator and social activist of Trinidad and Tobago, who spearheaded the ‘Black Power Movement’.

Daaga’s work focused on the central tenets of law, that is, equality, social justice and fairness. His advocacy and that of the several organisations he instituted, made significant impacts on areas that are of particular relevance to law and legal policy. Accordingly, the scholarship is aimed at creating lawyers who will be meaningful change agents working towards promoting justice and an egalitarian society.
