I received the very sad news yesterday that one of my dear professors and mentors, Dr. Horace Henriques, passed away. I have so many fond memories of him from the many meetings of the Caribbean Studies Association that I attended throughout the late 1990s and the aughts. Originally from Guyana, he taught for many years at the University of Toronto and was one of the most thoughtful people I know. Horace threw me a softball question when I gave my very first academic paper presentation in Barranquilla, Colombia in 1997. He will be dearly missed.
