Caribbean Trailblazers: St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Vol. I and II chronicles the lives of thirty three remarkable individuals (twenty six men and seven women) who have made substantial contributions either directly to St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) or the diaspora. We have broadened the scope to include persons who were not born in SVG but who lived and worked in SVG and made a substantial contribution to its development. We have also included persons who are still alive because we feel strongly that such persons should be thanked and honored in time for them to enjoy such recognition. We are confident the reader will find these lives fascinating and inspiring.
It is so important for young people to know about the contribution of these men and women who represented the first generation of West Indians to lay the foundations for the modern institutions that are critical for nationhood - Dr. Peggy Antrobus
