BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – In the midst of a raging debate on the economy and the observance of Crop Over Festival, which is easily our greatest manifestation of our cultural heritage, there comes news that steps are being taken to have the indigenous Barbados Landship Association recognized by the UNESCO.
This revelation has come from no less an authoritative source than Dr Marcia Burrowes, who is a member of the association’s 150th anniversary planning committee.
This is indeed very welcome news, coming as it were on the heels of the recognition of Bridgetown as a World Heritage Site, and all Barbadians must help to drive this proposal to a successful conclusion.
