NASSAU, The
Bahamas – The journey from Majority Rule to modern times, has been an ‘interesting’
one in Bahamian history, according to Ambassador of the Commonwealth of The
Bahamas to the United States of America, His Excellency Dr. Eugene Newry in his
Distinguished Lecture on ‘The Dream of ‘67’ as guest speaker in the University
of The Bahamas’ 50th Anniversary of Majority Rule Symposium, January
12-13, 2017.
Dr. Newry traced, from an
academic perspective, the milestones in Bahamian history that propelled the
freedom movement that led to Majority Rule in The Bahamas on January 10, 1967
-- one of the nation’s most pivotal and important moments.
