Why don't they touch Sir Harry Oakes Monument of zero universal infamy but commit legendary historical sacrilege upon our tapestry. We must support the 100% purity of The Bahamas historical facts and not erase but defend and build upon its strength that cemented in its uniqueness.
Being a pure historian, the venerable Dr Saunders probably would have put Christopher Columbus' African slave false narrative to the timeliness. Our politicians probably failed history, or they would learn the first Africans arrived hundreds of years after Columbus' death. The tapestry our our unique and rich history, still being written, cannot and must not be erased by mere opinion and hatred of persons of history. Columbus' statue should stand. Acvordingvto world annals, The Bahamas will forever be uniquely positioned as that great epicenter if modern history that opened the gates of a new era. Only in The Bahamas could he peoples of Spain, Western Europe with all of The America's converge at San Salvador on each October 12 until eternity. Though according to historical records long before Columbus the Portuguese during their trade with the Amazon region found The Bahamas back then to be be the fresh waterering hole for their fleets, nor to mention slave trade. But not Columbus.
Why aspire to greatness or be a national hero knowing that some day someone will destroy your historical efforts. Be careful of the examples we set. Should governments endorse this statues destruction and removal then no statue will be sacred. Statues, memories and history are fabrics eternal and not a board game. We mist decide whether Sir Pindling's statue should be seen towering over Fort Charlotte to be viewed from North or South.
I bought her books and spoke to her personally a few times, myself a creative writer. With her vast knowledge I wish I had, I prodded her to convert historical fact, give it characters, scent, human passion then write a novel. She just loved history, directing me to Archives for research on Lucayans. Writer to writer, she was among the best.
The United Nations is interfering with God, spirituality and Bahamian heritage and culture. Under God's marriage two people become as one and you cannot rape yourselves. The UN in forcefully imposing its anti God's will will degeneratemarriage to a civil union as trans and gay marriage can never take place under the sight of God. Sacred and Holy Marriage destruction will see 100% homes having multiple daddies as even in marriage wives bring in child strange to the husband. Civil Union marriage because it is not blessed by God will bring marriage down to the level of trans and gay civil union marriage. The UN us destroying the structures of God and and should be disbanded as filth. The UN andvits representative need the hand of God to touch them.

That is the problem writers face. Political correctness vs historical fact. They are enemies. But someone has to write it. The poor soul.
