The Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrance Drew, took to his social media account to share some glimpses into the Labour Day Parade, where he announced the construction of a museum in honour of the first national hero and premier of St Kitts and Nevis, Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw. In the same post, he shared the timeline for the construction of the new museum in St Kitts and Nevis.
The administration of St Kitts and Nevis, under the leadership of Dr Drew, made the announcement during the Labour Day parade hosted on Monday, May 1, 2023. The prime minister was accompanied by several members of St Kitts and Nevis Labour Party and the extended stakeholders of St Kitts and Nevis Labour Movement.
Dr Terrance Drew reiterated his commitment to honour the national hero of St Kitts and Nevis with the construction of a new museum by reconstructing his house into the new structure. The Prime Minister shared the plans for the construction during the Labour Day parade. He asserted that the museum would be constructed over a period of five months.
Dr Drew added that he hopes that construction will conclude in time for the 107th birth anniversary of Robert L Bradshaw. The birth anniversary of Bradshaw is celebrated as the official National Heroes Day of St Kitts and Nevis. On September 16, the country will honour the sacrifices and the accomplishments of the national heroes who played an important part in the development of the nation.
The restoration work for the home of the first national hero of St Kitts and Nevis had started earlier in 2015. However, the government had halted it soon after. Dr Terrance Drew, who is currently the leader of the government of St Kitts and Nevis, restarted the process for restoration in honor of one of the founding members of St Kitts and Nevis Labour Movement. The plans for the construction have also been announced for the public.
