Harold Hoyte One Caribbean Nation. The Mahogany Coconut Group would like to extend our sincerest sympathy to the family of Harold Hoyte, former Editor of the Nation Newspaper. We also extend our condolences, to the staff of the Nation Newspaper.

The establishment and success of the Nation Newspaper, as a black business has forever buried the myth, that Blacks cannot achieve stellar heights in business pursuits.
