Nassau, Bahamas - Statement By Hon. Philip 'Brave' Davis, Deputy Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas Cat Island, Rum Cay and San Salvador MP
on the passing of 94-year-old Adlean Armbrister:

Ann and I with sadness reflect on the passing of Cat Islander Adlean Armbrister, a national treasure and a brave Bahamian mother.

Adlean made her name in the annals of our country when she, along with other strong women of Old Bight, stood against the roadblocks of injustices in 1964. They were arrested after the powerful oligarchs choose to strip their access to land that they had farmed for many generations.

Her bravery won the right to have her matter heard before the Privy Council and energized the march toward Majority Rule that changed the course of our nation forever.

On her passing, I celebrate her contribution to building a better Bahamas for generations of Bahamians.

To her daughters, Lauren Dawkins, Zarier Munrow and Mazile Deveaux and son Remos Deveaux, I extend our deepest condolences.

 

May she rest in peace.
