As we continue to commemorate Black History month, it is deemed necessary for us to bestow honour and respect to those whose contribution have shaped the history and development of our people and country. Today the glory belongs to Sir Milton Pentonville Allen.
Today we look at Sir Milton Allen through the eyes of the late Premier Hon Robert Llewelyn Bradshaw when he on the resolution conveying appreciation of the House of Assembly to Sir Milton Allen on his retirement from public office.
Bradshaw recalled how in 1935 Milton Allen then living in New York, had gone around, along with other Kittitians living there, collecting money for the purpose of securing the services of a lawyer to defend workers who had been arrested and charged for rioting for higher wages and better conditions of life in January of 1935. The money they collected was sent here and used to ensure that the people charged for rioting had full legal representation.
On his return to St Kitts in the 1950's Milton Allen became an elected member of the Legislative, and went on to become Speaker of the House. His crowning moment came when he was made the first native Governor. He carries out his duties and filled the position with dignity which one expected of a person who is dignified and committed to the service of his country and his people. "A so ee go." |
