Freedom …
Today the Commonwealth of the Bahamas celebrates its thirty sixth year of independence from England. Today is a national holiday, and as it is a national holiday the people of the Bahamas celebrate. To paraphrase Carlene Brise in the book ‘Walk Tall.’ If our minds are free of self defeating thoughts we are free. If we refuse to treat ourselves as second classed citizens we are free. Let Independence stand for independence of mind heart and spirit. Let the fireworks the cookouts and the beach parties commemorate our regard ourselves and for all people. Today I celebrate with my husband and my daughter as Bahamian citizens. I am proud of my adoptive home country. Have a Happy Birthday Bahamas.
