James Ronald Webster is often remembered today as the protagonist of the Anguilla Revolution. One reason for this is that many consider him to have demonstrated the prototypical features of a hero: bravery, sacrifice, conviction, risk-taking, and moral integrity for an honorable purpose.
Fellow Anguillians, 19th December 2019 has been designated as National Heroes and Heroines Day. This is a day set aside to remember and celebrate the Anguilla revolutionists and all those who have made a significant contribution to the development of beloved country.
It is also formerly titled ‘Separation Day’ to mark legal separation from the union of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The success of the Anguilla Revolution was based on the resolve and commitment of the men and women who, against all odds, fought for separation from St. Kitts and Nevis.
