On March 9, 1969, Barbados held its second state funeral since Independence for Louis Albert Lynch, a transformative figure in education, sport, and public life. Hundreds, including Prime Minister Errol Barrow and Governor-General Sir Winston Scott, gathered to honour the 52-year-old educator, politician, and founder of Modern High School.
An urgent meeting is called to discuss the concerns over reducing space for burial, namely the Westbury cemetery.
Barbadians were warned by the Minister of Agriculture, Science and Technology, that not enough food was being produced.
The Barbadian published a pardon issued to a local Cleric.
