Long Description
P. Carl Gibson, a native and proud citizen of The Bahamas, has completed his
new book “Behind Grey Curtains”: a conversational and enlightening
commentary on the islands of The Bahamas’ struggle and rise from colonial rule
to self-government.
Author Gibson writes, “Even though my views were always progressive and
liberally inclusive I frequently wrote letters to the Editors of local newspapers and
decried the pace of economic dislocation of people from the islands of
Mayaguana, Inagua, Acklins and Crooked islands from 1969 – 1974. . . I retain
the belief in the innate premise of human equality, civil rights and fair play under
the rule of law may be acknowledged. The silence of injustice cries out from the
hill top seeking justice as I stood behind the grey curtains I said a prayer. We
shall overcome. . .”
