In the annals of Caribbean history,the Grenada Revolution stands as a pivotal moment of change and challenge,marked by fervent ideals of self-determination and the quest for social justice. From 1979 to 1983, the island nation underwent a radical change under the leadership of Maurice bishop and the New Jewel Movement, as they sought to dismantle colonial legacies and promote a new vision for the future.
