The Future

When highlighting the life of Sir Randol Fawkes, the focus is usually on what he accomplished as a trade unionist and politician.

Regrettably, little attention is given to the fact that he was an archivist and that he was writing and gathering content for posterity. He used the word "posterity" often and when I asked for a definition, he simply said, "The future."

Now his grandchildren are asking questions and the information continues to be passed on to "The future."

After Sir Randol’s death, I witnessed revisionist history on a grand scale but because he had documented his life, his legacy was saved.

An Excerpt from an Interview with Levard Darling (Consumerism Today)

Levard Darling:- Do you feel that the Government and people of The Bahamas recognize and appreciate the many significant contributions that you have made to the development of The Bahamas during your career? Do you feel slighted in any way?

Sir Randol Fawkes:- No, I do not feel slighted because I know that I have the power within me to make my own destiny. And with God’s help, He’s going to help me write my books and as a result of my books, Randol Fawkes will never be erased. The pen is far more powerful than any sword.
