A welcome piece of work that provides insight into the way we were and where we have been as we increase our capacity to reflect and purposefully devise a brighter tomorrow. The Dawn of a New Day is a valuable contribution to the published history of the Virgin Islands, as it chronicles and reflects on a period of awakening for the Territory and reminds us of the brave and vigilant leaders who emerged during a very dark period in the Virgin Islands' socio-economic history.. Dr. Irad Potter A thrilling piece of work which takes us through a period when B. V. Islanders laid the foundations for many of the services we enjoy today. It reflects the toils, tears, joys, and successes of hard-working generations. They toiled for the love of their country, seeking no accolades or fame. The foundations they laid were rooted in faith, justice, humility, and love. A timely publication. Pastor Pearl Smith
