Today in Bajan History| November 11th, 1950

I am Achiri Adams, history teacher at the Coleridge and Perry School and a graduate student in the Department of History, Philosophy, and Psychology at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill. Today in Bajan History, Call for Deepwater Harbor, November 11, 1950. On this day, November 11, 1950, The Barbados Advocate reported on the contents of the speech given by London-based Barbadian physician and Pan-Africanist, Dr. Cecil Banfield Clarke. His comments came in the wake of his recent tour of the Caribbean, a region he had not visited for some 25 years. In an address to the Royal Empire Society, Dr. Clarke called for the construction of a deep-water harbor in Barbados.
