The silence in the room was . . . almost scary as Keith Dean related the details that led to Majority Rule in the Bahamas. It was as though the awe of the 1967's events were happening . . .live!
Mr. Keith Dean, an education executive, lecturer, teacher, and author spoke to Rotarians and guests about the significance of Majority Rule for the Bahamas.
"Majority rule was the accomplishment of a movement that initially found voice within the PLP, energized by the ideas and advocacy of the National Committee for Positive Action (NCPA) spearheaded by men like Arthur A. Foulkes, Warren J. Levarity, Jeffrey Thompson and Eugene Newry."

Recognizing the economical impact of Majority Rule for "over-the-hill" residents, Mr. Dean's plea, as the country focused on such a transformational period was to refocus efforts on improving 'Over-the-Hill' businesses. He insisted that former residents, businesses, church leaders, and politicians all have a role to play in this much needed project. In closing, he added that Majority Rule should be less divisive for Bahamians - racially, politically, and economically.
