Then on March 12, when Gairy departed the island on government business to attend a function in New York, he allegedly left orders for the capture and murder of the NJM leadership. Through a pattern of behaviour, NJM leadership knew that if they wanted to live to see another day, they would have to act urgently - they had to move soon and not just soon, they had to move tonight. In one night, Tuesday, March 13, 1979, a group of young persons would attempt an event that has never happen in Caribbean history: a successful revolution in the English - speaking Caribbean.

As Sir Eric Gairy’s tenure as head of government continued throughout the 1970’s, the country was on the brink of economic and social collapse. After Bloody Sunday and Bloody Monday occurred, two of the most brutal cases of police brutality in Caribbean history, Eric Gairy was beginning to face opposition from all sides.

After years of societal tension in Grenada, everything would come to a head in 1951 at an event now known as the 1951 Revolution. The person who propelled this event was a former primary school teacher name Eric Matthew Gairy.

1950 would be one of the most significant years to understand the Grenadian Revolution, however, the events of this year were years in the making. It was years of build up tension arising from the neglect of the country’s majority black and poor population, coupled with the organising influence of Uriah Butler in nearby Trinidad and Tobago and the national black power empowerment movement enhance by of T.A. Marryshow.

In March of 1795, a French free coloured, Julien Fédon, would lead a revolt against the white British elites on the island of Grenada. Inspired by the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution and activities happening in Guadeloupe; for the next 16 months Fédon would range a battle against the English colonisers

Alexander Bedward, emerged during 1889 as a minister in the Jamaica Native Baptist Free Church. Throughout the 1890’s and beyond, he would emerged as one of the leading christian preachers in Jamaica. Tales of his healing power in the Hope River, his power of prophecy and his proclamation of been a reincarnation of Christ and would ring out throughout the island, the rest of Caribbean region and even as far as Costa Rica.

In 1954, then Minister of Finance in the JLP government, Donald Sangster had this grand idea: Jamaica will celebrate "three hundredth anniversary of British rule in Jamaica" and the celebrations would mark 300 years of "progress and development as a junior partner with Britain in her vast Colonial enterprise".

Pearnel Charles, retired politician, former vice president of the Bustamante Industrial and Trade Union cohosted this episode to speak on his days advocating for bauxite workers in the 1960s. The Jamaican bauxite strikes of 1960’s were a staple of the development of the bauxite -alumina industry in the country as local workers spoke up about low wages and poor working conditions by the transnational corporation controlling the industry.
