Barbados NEED another Errol W. Barrow type again in power, who would not sell off Barbados as the BLP love to do.

[@antarrahgilkes9457]

Did he found the DLP ???

[@blackdenyce]

Antarrah Gilkes yes, along with many others, including Frederick "Sleepy" Smith, who also gives tribute within the video.

[@antarrahgilkes9457]

According to W. Crawford in " I speak for the people..." that is not true...when the DLP was formed he was still associated with the BLP ....actually he was not even the one expected to be Premier after the 1961 General Elections if they won.... Brancker was to be Premier.
