Bahamas Edition
International Day of Persons with Disabilities leads today's complete edition for Bahamas.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A United Nations observance focused on disability rights, access, inclusion, and dignity.
A day for sinking in, putting your feet up, reading something good, and the simple pleasure of resting properly.
A nod to the original Junkanoo ancestor, the John Canoe dancer in the mask and the elaborate headdress who paraded through the streets during the Christmas season long before Bay Street had barricades. The tradition traces back to enslaved Africans who claimed these days as their own, and the John Canoe figure still appears in some Family Island celebrations. He dances alone, he dances wild, and he carries the whole history of the parade on his masked shoulders.
