On Emancipation Day, I was pleased to witness the handing over of drums from the Michael Yatar Cazaubon Foundation to the Soufriere Action Theatre, SAT.

I commend SAT for its continued contribution to preserving our culture and heritage, while nurturing the talents of our young people and creating opportunities for them to participate in the performing arts.

Special thanks to Mr. Johnson Simon, founder of the Michael Yatar Cazaubon Foundation, for this generous contribution and for supporting cultural development in Soufriere.

May these drums inspire a new generation to celebrate, protect, and carry forward the rich traditions that define us as a people.

Today, as we commemorate Emancipation Day under the theme “Understanding Our Past to Create a Pathway for the Future,” I honour the courage, sacrifice and resilience of our ancestors.

Their struggle for freedom shaped our identity and created the foundation upon which we continue to build.

As we reflect on our history, let us draw strength from their journey, preserve our rich cultural heritage and work together to create a more just, prosperous and inclusive future for every Saint Lucian.

May we never forget where we came from, and may that understanding guide the pathway we create for generations to come.

Happy Emancipation Day to the people of Soufriere, Fond St. Jacques and all Saint Lucians.
