About St. Vincent and the Grenadines

 

St. Vincent and the Grenadines has a rich history. Many of our local historians have written books, article and pamphlets regarding the lives, heritage and traditions of our fore parents. Our reflections on our accomplishments since independence would be incomplete if we do not discuss our history. During the year, a lecture series would be conducted throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines with emphasis being placed on examining the history of the community where the lecture is being held. During the year, a summary of each lecture would be uploaded to this site.

Three period pieces have been written by Doctor Edgar Adams for our information.
