I could not have said it any better!! LONG LIVE GRENADA, the strong island that my grandfather was born on is a historical space that does not get her props. Grenada small but STRONG!!!!! Kick out Sandals ad foreign multinational corporations. Let Grenadians govern Grenada for themselves by themselves they have the ability to do it and lead by example instead of outsiders dictating what is good for themselves. Rest in Paradise Comrade Maurice Bishop. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
