AS BARBADIANS mark Errol Barrow Day today, they are being called upon to remember what the National Hero stood for, and to stamp that across the length and breadth of the island.
The challenge was thrown out by Verla DePeiza, president of the Democratic Labour Party that Barrow founded, during a service at the St David’s Anglican Church yesterday to commemorate the life and work of Barrow.
“What Errol Barrow means to the Democratic Labour Party, I don’t think any book can ever capture. What he means to this country will live on for generations to come. But what it should mean for each one of us is a motivation to dig deep within ourselves, and find a way that we too, can have a lasting impact on our society,” she told the congregation.
She added the country was at a crossroad and asked the citizens to join with the party, which suffered a humiliating 30-0 defeat in last May’s General Election, as it worked to steer the nation back on the right path. (RA)
