Exhibition honouring Dr Cheddi Jagan opens at National Library

A photographic and book exhibition highlighting the life and legacy of Cheddi Jagan was unveiled on Monday at the National Library and the New Amsterdam Public Library.
The display, organised by the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre, opened at 10:00h and features a collection of photographs and publications documenting the life, political career, and contributions of the former President of Guyana.
The exhibition provides an overview of Jagan’s role in the country’s political development and his involvement in the struggle for democracy, social justice, and national independence. Jagan is widely regarded as the Father of the Nation and served as President from 1992 until his death in 1997.
Visitors to the display can view photographs capturing key moments in his political life as well as books and publications written by and about him. The exhibition also includes works connected to Janet Jagan, offering insight into the couple’s political philosophy and their vision for Guyana.
According to the organisers, the display aims to provide students, researchers, and members of the public with an opportunity to reflect on Jagan’s contributions to national development and the advancement of democratic governance.
The Cheddi Jagan Research Centre said the initiative forms part of its ongoing efforts to preserve and promote the history and ideals associated with the late leader.
Members of the public, educational institutions, and organisations have been invited to visit the exhibition at both locations. The display is expected to attract students and researchers interested in learning more about Jagan’s life and his role in shaping modern Guyana.
