OCTOBER 25 2020 marked the 37th anniversary of the US invasion of Grenada, following the historic achievements of the four-and-a-half year old people’s revolution, in which huge leaps in progress were made in all fields for the people of that Caribbean island.
The achievements were so powerful an example that the US could not tolerate it in its “backyard.” It put up constant internal and external threats to destabilise this shining example to the English-speaking people of the Americas.
The excuse used was the tragic events of October 19 1983, when nine leaders of the Grenada Revolution, including the Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and other senior members of the People’s Revolutionary Government, including one woman, Jackie Creft, were killed at Fort George in St George’s.
