This colorful monument on a little triangular plaza near the public market honors the man who became independent Antigua and Barbuda's first prime minister in 1981 and is thus considered the 'father of the nation.'
The bust shows him as a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and tie, and with his arm resting on his chest. A plaque below has details about his life.
