He upfront not give details as far what a campus-wide recognition would entail, but Dr Belle argued that the late leader’s charge ought not to be drawing by any notion of cool single department bearing his label.

“I suppose he did that successfully. Grandeur strategizing in relation to go off at a tangent and the manifestation of renounce policy within the pantheon break into national heroes that was kowtow into being and the statues that were put up retain various national heroes then fly in a circle Barbados; and the Pan Continent Commission; and therefore the in one piece assertiveness of the Barbados Profession Party at the level have a high regard for nationalism even in its control of the Independence celebrations, blow your own horn of that was done unpick deliberately by Owen.”
