THE ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE: HAPPY 33RD BELIZE!! By Hon Francis Fonseca Artist and Historian Yasser Musa recently shared a publication entitled: “The Road to Independence” which was published at the time of Belize’s Independence in 1981. I have read it before but reading it again was inspiring and enlightening. It reminds us of the courageous, bold and uncertain path Belize took to Independence guided by our great leader and Father of the Nation George Price. But as George Price always reminded us, we must never forget that it was the great People’s United Party and its members and supporters who served as the vehicle to take us on the road to Independence. The PUP provided the support structure for Mr. Price to carry out his life’s work. It was the philosophy and core values of the PUP grounded in social justice which served as the foundation for Belize’s Independence movement. It was the PUP’s commitment to national development, unity and respect for all cultures that forged the birth of our new nation in 1981. George Price was a humble, compassionate and thoughtful leader who was deeply committed to equity and justice for all Belizeans. We must always be proud of our great leader and our great Party. The PUP has a proud and glorious history and legacy of creating the nation-state of Belize. The PUP is on the rise again. We will build on that proud legacy of the past and chart a new course on the road to a more prosperous and just nation. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! FELIZ DIA DE NUESTRA INDEPENDENCIA A TODOS EN NUESTRO PAIZ!
