The one that netted 300 million for the economy? Wouldnt it be nice to have something like that now? No – let’s honor the dead, and pat each other on the back that we have poked a finger at the old white bogey man again.

Will there also be statues to the secular humanists that also campaigned for the abolition of slavery, and by extension, the removal of nay religious artefacts?

Tell me why we care about seniors again instead of our children? Maybe less tea parties and more focus on the Dept of Education perhaps, or is that going to take 17 years too?

Same place where SpongeBob got $77 Million for a sailboat race for Billionsires after he told seniors “there is no money, you just dont get it”.

This is an excellent project but it would be nice to have the statue in a more visible, accessible place… and perhaps put one of the markers out at the cave site?

I am not against this BUT where are we getting the money to do this now with so much more that needs to be dealt with. Save this for a time when we are in a good place with funds?????!!!!!

In my humble opinion, I don’t think the statue should be located in a cave as it does not give Mary Prince the prominence that she is due.

I am glad for the African Bermuda Tour that community and cultural affairs sponsored so that we were able to get knowledge of her because I didn’t know of her or her importance in history!

I hope they sponsor this tour again but make it longer and not just the month of February! This tour was very educational and informative and helped me to understand Mary Prince and her importance in our history and the whole British Empire history and the slavery in Bermuda, and of course Mary Prince!

Next on the agenda is to change Somers Day to Mary Prince day PlEASE!

Isn’t there already a statue of her on the grounds of Sessions House?

With all the financial difficulties the island is going through, why on earth is government wasting money on statues? Can see where the money they are draining for the Corporations of Hamilton and St. Georges bank accounts are going.

New generation. I used to believe in plaques and statues but not after:
1. Asking people where the Dr. Gordon plaque is and they dont know
3. Asking people what the statue is in the Cabinet grounds

What will this statue cost?
In this electronic age we should consider this as an option.

“Overseas researcher Dr. Margot Maddison-MacFadyen was recently given a grant by the Department of Community and Cultural…”

There are no Bermudian researchers?

Wow we have all these problems and all we can come up with is to put a statue in a cave on private property. Can’t make this stuff up!

Don’t we have a statue in cabinet grounds?
