THE INDEPENDENCE STORY ence was formally achieved. The Abaco issue was dead. A new nation was born, and with it the joys and challenges of nation building. Despite the many challenges, Sir Arthur said, “I am proud of the progress we have made and I keep saying this to young people: self-criticism is good... but self-criticism should not descend into self-abuse. “It is good for a country to be critical of itself, but also you have to take time out to look at the good things.”
“The glorious moment was when opposition and government got together on the question of citizenship ... On that issue, we were, as we say, solid as a rock.” -Sir Arthur Foulkes Marguerite Pindling and Prime Minister Lynden Pindling with Prince Charles.
