FREEPORT, Grand Bahama — BASRA Northern Bahamas posted a collection of photos on Facebook on Sunday, July 23, 2023, taken during a cocktail and cake-cutting reception held in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Bahamas Independence. We decided to share some of them with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. The photos were posted with the following narrative:
