On our Barbados and reclaimed land tour we meet outside the Bridgetown Port. The Bridgetown Port and Pelican Island were once separated by water. The island was joined to the deep-water harbor in the 1950s and added just over 90 acres of land to the island. It was used as an intermit site during World War 1 and 2 and once as a site to house for people with infectious diseases. We visit Pelican Village that was once part of the Island, here we can stroll onto Fontanelle Road, and see how far the Pelican Island extended, learn about the historic Fontabelle area, Kensington Oval, mecca cricket Stadium, the Indian River, the indigenous site where the Arawak Indians lived, what the Indian River was transformed to, and a visit to Rihanna Drive.

We don't just walk; we convene. By gathering at the Esplanade, we occupy the silence left by historical erasure, filling the void with stories of Black economic sovereignty and defiance. The "Blood in the Mortar" of the Skinner House to the living triumph of Tyrone’s Bar, we bridge the gap between kidnapped Africans and their sovereign descendants. This is not a history lesson—it is a resurrection of the Black pulse. At the Esplanade, we speak into the void where landmarks were erased. We resurrect the martyrs of the 1675 and 1692 plots—those burned and beheaded in these streets to break the Black spirit. We expose the psychological warfare of Fortuna’s betrayal and the resilience found after the 1780 hurricane. We celebrate the town’s unique economic defiance: a powerhouse of Free Black shopkeepers who ran underground trade networks with the enslaved. The fire of 1876, proved that the Black struggle always reclaimed its own heat. This is just a snippet of the many stories to be told.
