It is with profound sadness that The Caribbean Camera announces the passing of Carlton Henry Joseph, our cherished page seven commentary writer for the past five years. Carlton, who was also my beloved brother and the chair of The Black and Indigenous Business Development Association, passed away at the age of 83.

Carlton’s journey began in the 1960s when he moved to the United States from Trinidad and Tobago. His life was dedicated to the service and upliftment of the Caribbean community, particularly in Washington, DC. His contributions were immense, including his pivotal role in establishing the first Trinidad and Tobago Association, which became a cornerstone for the Trini community in the area.

He was also instrumental in organizing “Summer in the Park” and numerous other events that celebrated and supported the Caribbean culture and community spirit. Carlton’s commitment to his community and his tireless efforts in fostering unity and development will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.

His legacy is one of dedication, compassion, and unwavering support for his community. His insightful commentary and passion for justice and equality have left an indelible mark on our readers and the wider community.

As we mourn the loss of a remarkable individual, we extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Carlton’s full story and a tribute to his life and achievements will be published in next week’s edition of The Caribbean Camera.

Rest in peace, Carlton. Your contributions and spirit will live on in the hearts of many.
