Mr. Unison Whiteman was a key member of the New Jewel Movement  NJM and close friend of Grenada prime minister, Maurice Bishop.  During the Grenada Revolution, he served as Grenada’s Foreign Minister.<\/p>\n

Educated at Howard University in Washington DC he graduated with a B.A. in Government and a M.A. in Economics.<\/p>\n

Following a loss to Eric Gairy in the Grenada general election of 1972 as a candidate of the opposing GNP party, and his subsequent disillusionment of politics, Whiteman founded the Joint Endeavor for Welfare Education and Liberation: J.E.W.E.L. which later merged with another group, MAP, to form the New Jewel Movement in March 1973.<\/p>\n

Initially, Whiteman, together with Bishop, served as Joint Coordinating Secretary of the NJM.<\/p>\n

Whiteman was elected to Parliament on the opposition ticket to GULP in 1976.<\/p>\n

Unison Whiteman was executed with Bishop and other close supporters on Bloody Wednesday, October 19, 1983 in Grenada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
