Bahamian Black Tuesday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Bahamian Black Tuesday occured on 27 April, 1965. It was the day on which Lynden Pindling threw the mace out of the House of Assembly's window into crowds of PLP supporters because of gerrymandering committed by the United Bahamian Party led by Roland T. Symonette. This act was then followed by the throwing of the assemblies hourglasses into the crowds by Milo Butler.
