MAJORITY RULE DAY

This past week, The Bahamas marked what Sir Arthur Foulkes called in 2014 when it became a national holiday, the second most important date in the history of The Bahamas behind the Emancipation of slavery in 1834.  We agree, This year marked 57 years since the first black government came to office under the premiership of The late Lynden Pindling.  The faithful gathered at Zion Baptist Church to recall the occasion.  Photos by Calvin Brown Jr RBDF
