FREEPORT, Grand Bahama – May 22, 2023 — Deborah Anderson Pratt posted a collection of photos on Facebook on Monday, May 22, and 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, the United Kingdom and, of course, The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. They were posted with the following narrative:
