Members of the group were young, middle class \u00a0students from Grenada&#8217;s prestigious schools such as GBSS and Presentation College. OREL students embraced a disciplined approach to Marxist-Leninist ideology.\u00a0 Members of the group were especially close to Bernard Coard who served as their mentor.<\/p>\n<p>Although OREL merged into NJM to primarily coordinate the NJM\u00a0youth program, the assimilation was never truly complete. \u00a0Several of OREL&#8217;s original members &#8211;
