  • Sir Grantley Herbert Adams
    SIR GRANTLEY HERBERT ADAMS Political legend, father of democracy, leader distinguished, visionary politician are but a few of the accolades used to describe Grantley Herbert Adams, first Premier of Barbados, and one of the Caribbean Region's most outstanding political leaders. The unprecedented accomplishments of Sir Grantley in the political liberation of Barbados, and advancing the cause of workers and the poor exploited masses, led his numerous supporters to perceive him as a messianic figure. The respect and reverence held for this great leader, often referred to as 'Moses" and "Messiah", lay in his unique ability to relate to and understand the needs of the ordinary folk in his country. On April 28, 1898, the course of Barbados history was charted with the birth of Grantley Herbert Adams to Fitzherbert Adams and the former Rosa Frances Turney. Born at Colliston Government Hill, St. Michael, he was the third of seven offspring of this union. He was educated at St. Giles School and Harrison College in Barbados. Sir Grantley, as he was popularly known, excelled and won a scholarship in 1918 which afforded him the opportunity to attend Oxford University in England pursuing studies in Classics and Jurisprudence. Grantley Adams was admitted to the Bar at Grey's Inn and functioned as a Counsel of Her Majesty, the Queen of England. He returned to Barbados in 1925, and in 1929 the former Grace Thorne became Mrs. Grantley Adams. Following his father's path, their only child, Tom Adams, also entered the legal profession and was elected the second Prime Minister of Barbados.
