This collection of photos was granted to The Tribune for this publication by Allan Freeman Ingraham. They show Sir Lynden O Pindling and MP George A Smith during the early days, when The Bahamas was a newly-Independent nation. Mr Ingraham was serving as a technician for ZNS, Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas, working at the House of Assembly at the time. An avid photographer, Mr Ingraham always had his camera handy, and captured these moments that highlight the individuals who helped to move some of the first pieces of legislation in a new Bahamas through the House of Assembly, to the upper chambers of the Senate, becoming the Bills that shaped the way forward for the country.
