Bahamas Reviewing 1955 Shows Shifting Roles for Blacks
In Around: the Bahamas revisits 1955 to chart progress of the Negro in society and government. It names Kendal G. L. Isaacs as solicitor general, M. J. Thompson as stipendiary magistrate, Livingstone B. Johnson as acting stipendiary magistrate, Harold Munnings as public works engineer, and George Cumberbatch as public works superintendent. Clergy gains include Rev Collingwood Cooper as cathedral canon, with Rev Erwin Johnson of the Bahamas honored as a Member of the British Empire. The piece decries lack of a colored Bahamian to represent colored tourists as White officials visit Nassau with business interests, urging C. H. Reeves as the logical choice.
