Additional quotes by Maureen Thelma Watson
It’s been a journey of ups and downs. Before Zimbabwe, there was Rhodesia, which brought its own challenges, but it’s been a life shaped by significant moments. For example, back in 1964, while I was at university with others who would later become prominent Zimbabweans, like Byron Hove and others, we staged a demonstration against the banning of the Daily News a newspaper we had at the time.
In 1964, Harold Hockshield saw my speech in the Central African Examiner and distributed copies worldwide, leading to a scholarship offer from Columbia University.
