The commemoration began with a floral tribute at her monument. Later in the evening, a film about her life and history was screened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"dropcap \" style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; border-color: #ffffff;\">P<\/span>rior to the film, guest speaker Fazle Shairmahomed placed Tetary&#8217;s life story in a broader historical context. The chair of NAKS, Ms Staphorst, and DNA chair Ashwin Adhin also addressed those present. Staphorst discussed the role of women in history and in present-day society. Adhin reflected on the circumstances of indentured labourers and Tetary&#8217;s place in that history.<\/p>\n<p>According to the CUS, Tetary symbolises courage, dignity and standing up for others. With the commemoration, the organisation aims to pass on her story to future generations and keep the conversation about Surinamese history alive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommemoration is not only about looking back; it is about taking responsibility into tomorrow,\u201d said the CUS chair. The organisation hopes that the film evening will also give rise to discussion and awareness afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culturele Unie Suriname commemorated Janey Tetary with a floral tribute and film evening, focusing on her role in history and her significance for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":191327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_29234516172805655_1309923202201307":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1158244960706604":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1093738170500407":"","facebook_29234516172805655_108923581283702":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[18437],"tags":[22933,20386,22935,22934,16291,20032,16292,22936],"class_list":["post-191348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-commemoration","tag-culture","tag-cus","tag-janey-tetary","tag-key-news","tag-nieuws","tag-suriname","tag-tetary"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191348"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":191388,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191348\/revisions\/191388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
