Nelson Mandela Freedom Park Barbados

Exactly 27 years after Nelson Mandela was released from prison after spending the same number of years behind bars, Barbados opened the Mandela Freedom Park.

“We chose this moment as the most powerful symbol you can imagine, 27 years since 27 years,” said Hilary Beckles, Vice-Chancellor of the University of the West Indies at the opening ceremony Tuesday night.
 
Beckles, who was two years ago promoted as administrative head of all of UWI after serving 12 years as Principal of the Barbados Cave Hill Campus, had been the driving force behind establishment of the park, which is situated on a prime spot on University Drive, Cave Hill overlooking the sea.

Mandela’s eldest granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela, and a team from the University of Johannesburg were among those attending the opening ceremony, which included libations and invocation of the ancestors of the struggle for freedom.
