Mary Prince Legacy Bus Tour On July 12 & 19 Titan Express is offering the Mary Prince Legacy Bus Tour on Sundays, July 12 and 19 at 2.00pm to 4:00pm. A spokesperson said, “Mary Prince was the first enslaved Black women to share her story of slavery throughout Britain’s Colonies, and she was the first Black woman and author to write about the brutalities of slavery and wrote truth to power. “The tour highlights Mary Prince’s experiences and visits places where she was housed in Bermuda as an enslaved Black woman. Her book is called, ‘The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave’ and her story was given as a petition to Britain’s Parliament and led to the onset for Britain to start with the abolishment of slavery throughout its colonies, including the enslaved Blacks in Bermuda who received Emancipation on August 1st, 1834. “The Cup Match Holiday, which is being held in July, and on the first day, is Emancipation Day and the second day is Mary Prince Day. The stories and contributions of people like Mary Prince are of outmost significant importance to the history of Emancipation & Cup Match, which took place in Bermuda on August 1st, 1834. We encourage people to come out with family and friends and learn about these stories that helped shape Bermuda’s history. It is our duty and responsibility to know and engage our history, to learn from it, and so we can imagine and forge together a better Future. “It is our task, to know our past and honor it, to engage our present and improve it, and to imagine a good future and to forge it.
