NASSAU, The Bahamas -- The late Rt. Hon. Sir Lynden O. Pindling, former Prime Minister, was inducted posthumously into the National Junkanoo Legends Circle during a ceremony held at Government House under the patronage of Governor-General Her Excellency Dame Marguerite Pindling and Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture the Hon. Daniel Johnson. The 2015 class is made up of 20 males who were key persons in the survival of Junkanoo in the 1960's, guiding it from marginalization to the central and important art form that it is today. The Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and the National Junkanoo Committee held a reception for the honorees. The Governor General is pictured seated centre, with Prime Minister the Rt. Hon.
