Remembering freedom fighters

Prime Minister Freundel Stuart led from the front at the wreath-laying ceremony in Golden Square, the City, marking the 74th anniversary of the Peoples Uprising in 1937.
Before an audience that included Pan Africanists David Comissiong, Reverend Gordon Matthews and Robert “Bobby”?Clarke, Prime Minister Stuart placed a wreath at the bust of Clement Payne, the freedom fighter, who was the catalyst for the disturbance that revolutionised this country.
Stuart said that institutions like the Clement Payne Movement and other allied organisations such as the Israel Lovell Foundation, have understood the importance of keeping alive the contribution of those who have given their lives and “to ensure that Barbados remains a free democratic participatory society”.
