U.S. Virgin Islands Governor Ken Mapp Commemorates 100 Years as an American Territory

I am especially proud to serve as Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands as we commemorate 100 years as an American territory. It’s truly an honor to welcome one and all to share this momentous occasion with us. However, the Transfer Centennial Commemoration must also serve as a time to shape our future relationship with the Federal Government and to determine how we want to grow and evolve over the next 100 years. I urge Virgin Islanders to treat the occasion of the Transfer Centennial as a time of both serious reflection and preparation. - Governor Kenneth Mapp
