I was a part of the public education system all of my life and was always in the top stream. I then went to the College of The Bahamas and was an associate of Pastor Mario Moxey at that time. However, I never heard of Jumbey Village. When I began my independent political activism, I decided to do research on Jumbey Village. I was amazed at what I found. When I went to the archives, there was nothing to be found. When I inquired about that, the head person at that time told me that they only follow instructions. I then decided to do a petition to honour Mr Ed Moxey by naming the highway next to NIB headquarters after him. I was told by many people to leave it alone. I then decided to recreate a new cultural village at the Big Pond site. I presented the plans to the government but never heard back from them. One day I am still going to do that plan somewhere.

Lady Tonya, I'm glad to have produced a piece that helps you and others reconnect with your roots. We all are one regardless of where we've settled 😉 For the record, it was an outright pleasure producing this and other feature works alongside the likes of Patrice Francis and Rosemary Hanna. Two absolute gems 😊

As a white Bahamian born there in 1963 I believe it's true that most black Bahamians were never slaves, they were landed there by the British Navy after being rescued from slave ships. Did any slave-based industry have time to get going between 1720 when the pirates were expelled and 1830 when slavery was abolished? I doubt it. In 1720 the regular population of Nassau was so small it was outnumbered by the pirates. There's a lot of slander here against the white population of pre-independence Bahamas, we created a very safe and civilised country and the simple fact that we were outbred and usurped by black majority rule doesn't justify Pindling's self-characterisation as a freedom-fighter who rescued the black majority from oppression.

Kendrick, thank you for taking the time to watch and absorb this piece. We all had a great time producing it, and trust me, countless individuals feel the same way as you do....but sadly, this isn't the kind of content that most serving Bahamian politicians want to herald...it's too neutral for their "focused" agendas, and furthermore, we weren't dependent on "the people's money" to help produce it...thus we had full creative license over how it all turned out. Objectivity was the aim. I'm almost certain you know where I'm coming from when I say all of this...but be encouraged in any event, my brother. The truth can NEVER be hidden/suppressed indefinitely.

I'm a bit disappointed with this video. The Francis' of Glinton Square( Grants Town Hotel) who made significant contribution to Grants Town not mentioned in the documentary. Also the Sargent's of Glinton Square. Your history is incomplete!

Hi Lorraine, I'm sorry...we know the history pertaining to this piece is rich, and vast, and widespread, but every family, unfortunately, couldn't make the cut. That's really where the written word comes in though, and shines...perhaps Rosie mentioned them in her book?

Very good. We encourage you to press on, beloved...knowledge is power, and knowledge in action is even more powerful. We must do what we can, within reason, to free our minds more and more in the effort to help bring about much needed change and reformation in, and around our environments, and nation. The future of The Bahamas depends heavily on the will of its people. With the people is where much power resides, but sadly, like with the church (when I say this, again, I mean the people), the vast majority are slumbering.

I've watched this documentary about 3 times. I was born in late 1967 and as a child i could remember hearing the Jumbey Village song not knowing at the time what was going on. As an adult i feel the pain and disgust how this great man and his family were treated. I will do my best to learn more and have a dialog with friends and family and bring about awareness. This should also be apart of our school curriculum but it will never happen unfortunately.

Amen and God bless you for this. The cultural heritage was badly damaged to such an extent that the PLP under Perry Christie manipulated a double fraud on first an unthinking set of Bahamians who participated in the errant aberration called Carnival and secondly on the Public Treasury to bank-roll the cultural counterfeit with unaccounted millions over and beyond anything done for JUNKANOO which was derived from the whips on the backs of our ancestors. Thanks for this as it lets me prove that the counterfeit Carnival is the product of a triple fraud if we recall the destruction of Jumbey Village really was the first piece of fraud against the "grass-roots" AND BY THE PLP

It's a sad reality, Rosie, but these kinds of tactics seem to be the order of the day across our country's "independence" narrative. We have quite a quite a ways to go to be cleaned of this "muck and mire". The question is, "Have we learnt from the past or will history continue to repeat itself?" Time always tells. Thanks for your continued support, Rosie. Let us keep keeping on the road of objectively preserving our country's history, where and when we can, in whichever forms we find most fitting.

These are great interviews. I am often saddened by what these reflections reveal about the wealth of Bahamian Culture amidst which I have grown up but have totally missed. Why do Bahamians want ANYTHING to do with American culture? Television programming from our neighbour is a significant catalyst in the fall of our standards.
