  • {PDF EPUB} What Manner of Man Is This the Duke of Windsor's Years
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} What Manner of Man Is This The Duke of Windsor's Years in The Bahamas by Orville Turnquest What Manner of Man Is This​?​ What Manner of Man Is This? is a unique and incisive look at an important but largely ignored period of the life of the Prince of Wales who was heir to the British throne and became King of England, Edward VIII, in 1936. A mere ten months later he abdicated the throne to marry a twice- divorced American, Mrs. Wallis Simpson in what was at once the scandal of the century and the love story of the age. Many books have been written about the royal couple, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, but this focuses exclusively on The Duke's tenure as Royal Governor of The Bahamas in a tumultuous era during which major events and programs occurred including the murder of Sir Harry Oakes, the richest man in the British Empire at that time, all set against the backdrop of World War II raging in Europe. This book also stands apart from others because its author, Sir Orville Turnquest, speaks with the authority and credibility of someone who has occupied the very same office as the Duke of Windsor. Sir Orville did not, however, come from a royal or aristocratic family but rather, in sharp contrast to his predecessor, he came from an area of Nassau inhabited by the underprivileged black community and thus provides a perspective that could not be more different from those of a former King of England.

  • The Road to Majority Rule (1942 –1967)
    THE ROAD TO MAJORITY RULE (1942 –1967) This singular event in Bahamian history played a significant role in shaping the modern Bahamas we experience today. The significant events leading up and emanating from Majority Rule must become permanently etched in the Bahamian historical landscape as these events define us as a people, reveal what we believe in as Bahamians, and serve as a constant reminder of our vision and values. Following is a cursory account of the significant events surrounding and leading up to Majority Rule, the meaning of Majority Rule, and homage will be duly paid to the freedom fighters that fought this epic battle in the name of freedom and justice. The Burma Road Riots Many local political historians believe that June 1, 1942 marked the beginning of the modern political history of the Bahamas. The events of the Burma Road Riots came as a result of the agitation by labourers for equal pay for equal work, regardless of colour or nationality. As you know, a satellite airfield was being constructed in western New Providence for use by the American armed forces. A labour dispute ensued over equal pay and this dispute took on a life of its own and became intimately interwoven with the overall movement for freedom and social justice. Today that site is the Lynden Pindling International Airport. So it is clear that from the first stirrings of political activity in the country, labour has been an integral part of the struggle. The Suffrage Movement in The Bahamas The Movement really started with a conversation between Mrs.

  • Address by Bradley B Roberts National Chairman Progressive Liberal Party Fox Hill Branch Meeting L W Young High School Bernard Road Nassau Bahamas
    1 Address By Bradley B Roberts National Chairman Progressive Liberal Party Fox Hill Branch Meeting L W Young High School Bernard Road Nassau Bahamas 23 January 2009 Fox Hill – Founder’s Day Address To the good people of this historical Fox Hill Community, and to the wider Bahamian family, I bring very special greetings as we assemble here to commemorate the birth of our noble and illustrious Party, the great Progressive Liberal Party. Tonight I want to focus on the historical mission of the PLP and what makes us the better choice to lead – over the FNM. Ladies and Gentlemen, yesterday at a Press conference I called for the resignation of Tommy Turnquest as Minister of National Security and I outline logical reasons for making that call. I note with great interest Tommy Turnquest response according to The Tribune who told his critics to stop looking for scapegoats for the 2 crime problem. This is the same Tommy who before the 2007 General Elections told the Bahamas that he and the FNM had the plans to get rid of crime. One has to assume that someone one stole the plans Tommy had. I offered a reward of One Million Dollars for the return of Tommy and the FNM Plans but today no one has come forward. Tommy claims that he does not walk around with a gun in his waist preventing people from committing crimes. To sum up what Tommy reaction to his critics was "STOP SCAPEGOATING ME MAN, I AM DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN MAN". The bottom line is Tommy’s best ain’t good enough.
