Today we salute the achievements of the Grenadian Revolution and remember the crimes of those determined to crush it.

After the invasion, the CIA airdropped a comic book over the island. ‘Grenada: Rescued from Rape and Slavery’, quoted Grenadians thanking “President Reagan and their freedom-loving neighbours”. The comic portrayed US soldiers as white saviours ‘liberating’ the people of Grenada.

On 19 October 1983, Maurice Bishop was executed in a coup after the emergence of serious tensions within the NJM’s leadership. By the end of that month, the US invaded, the Grenadian Revolution was quashed, and a military junta took control.

The NJM also began to construct Grenada’s first airport. As with many infrastructure projects, this was only possible because of support provided by Cuba. The prospect of an international airport terrified Reagan because of “the potential that it offered to the Soviets”.

Bishop’s new government took up a leading role in the NAM, condemning US attempts to expand its influence in the Caribbean.

In 1979, months after coming to power, Maurice Bishop addressed the United Nations.
