St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas has paid tribute to national leaders who played a role in the attainment of independence for the twin-island Federation.

“These are the tasks that have preoccupied us thus far. Our coming of age as a people was marked by the determination ““ and the success ““ of the Rt. Excellent Sir Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw, the Rt. Excellent Sir Caleb Azariah Paul Southwell, and the Rt. Excellent Sir Joseph N. France at winning for every Kittitian and Nevisian the right to vote, despite others’ determination to keep us vote-less. It was marked by their determination ““ and success – at winning for every Kittitian and Nevisian the right to a secondary education despite others’ determination to keep us locked out, uneducated and uninformed. It was marked by their determination ““ and success – at winning for every Kittitian and Nevisian social security during old age despite others’ indifference to the shame and destitution that gripped our forebears by the thousands when they became too old to earn their daily bread,” St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas said in his 25th Anniversary Address to the Nation during the Ceremonial Parade. It was the first time since 1996, that the Independence Message was delivered at the Ceremonial Parade.
