You might recall this post… from earlier in the month when we quoted from Dr. Cleve Eneas' speech on Discovery Day from 1989. Well as mentioned, we were fortunate to receive a copy from the Nassau Guardian archives and thanks to Media Enterprises Ltd we can now present a nice clean pdf for posterity at this link…
While Dr. Eneas does not sugar coat what the Spaniards did to the original inhabitants of The Bahamas, he points out that "…anything that has changed the world as much as Columbus' discovery has, is worthy of great adulation."
But unfortunately it seems many in the modern Bahamas want to forget the importance of history and our place in it.
How about you?
