A dream has come true for many a freedom fighter in Barbados. A dream that has finally seen the country shake off the last shackles of colonialism and slavery and embrace a new path to independence and freedom.
Barbados has now become a republic and has removed Queen Elizabeth the II as its head of state. It now answers to no one but herself.
Not much will probably change, because even before this act, Barbados much like other English speaking Caribbean countries had very little to answer to from Great Britain. But it is wonderful to see someone take the additional step of confidence and say we can do it!
We salute Barbados.
