The Tribune

The Tribune and the end of discrimination - an historical appreciation

Sixty years ago tomorrow, Etienne Dupuch moved a resolution in the House of Assembly that was to change life in the Bahamas forever and pave the way for the modern independent country we now know. Twelve years later, Eileen Carron, who had been in the House on that momentous night reporting for The Tribune, looked back at how the end of racial discrimination had led to Majority Rule and a loss of perspective over the role her father and editor, who later became Sir Etienne, had played. This is the report Mrs Carron – now the long serving Publisher/Editor of The Tribune – wrote on December 30, 1967.
