gairy and carried out campaigns of terror against the new jewel movement and against the bishop family in particular 10 21 january 1974 became known in grenada as bloody monday 11 after this traumatising event bishop said we the njm realized that we were unable to lead the working class since the party had no influence in city workers unions or among the rural folk loyal to gairy with his colleagues bishop developed a new strategy shifting focus from propaganda and mobilising anti government demonstrations toward the organisation of party groups and cells 2 independence day edit on 6 february 1974 the day before the proclamation of the independent state of grenada bishop was arrested on charges of plotting an armed anti government conspiracy 12 he was taken to the fort george

1977 bishop made his first visit to cuba he travelled there with unison whiteman as leaders of the njm and guests of the cuban institute of friendship with people icap 3 premiership edit see also people s revolutionary government grenada bishop in bautzen east germany 1982 in east berlin 1982 in 1979 bishop s party staged a revolution and deposed gairy who was out of the country addressing the united nations bishop became prime minister of grenada and suspended the constitution after taking power bishop established a partnership with cuba he initiated a number of projects in grenada most significantly the building of a new international airport on the island s southern tip renamed in his memory in may 2009 financing and labour for the construction of the airport came from cuba although most of the airport s infrastructure was designed by european and north american consultants us president ronald reagan accused grenada of intending to use the new airport s long airstrip as a waypoint for soviet military aircraft among bishop s core principles were workers rights women s rights and the struggle against racism and apartheid 20 non primary source needed under bishop s leadership the national women s organization was formed which participated in policy decisions along with other social groups women were given equal pay and paid maternity leave sex discrimination was made illegal organisations for education centre for popular education health care and youth affairs national youth organization were also established despite its achievements bishop s government would not hold elections and stifled the free press and the opposition 2 the people s revolutionary army pra was also formed during bishop s administration critics claimed that the army was a waste of resources and there were complaints that the pra was used as a tool to commit human rights abuses like detention of political dissidents 21 bishop has been quoted at length on the dynamics of democracy there are those who believe that you cannot have a democracy unless there is a situation where every five years people are allowed to put an x next to some candidate s name and they return to being non people without the right to say anything to their government without any right to be involved in running their country elections could be important but for us the question is one of timing we would much rather see elections come when the economy is more stable when the revolution is more consolidated when more people have in fact had benefits brought to them when more people are literate the right of freedom of expression can really only be relevant if people are not too hungry or too tired to be able to express themselves it can only be relevant if appropriate grassroots mechanisms rooted in the people exist through which the people can effectively participate we talk about the human rights that the majority has never been able to enjoy a job to decent housing to a good meal these human rights have been the human rights for a small minority over the years in the caribbean and the time has come for the majority of the people to begin to receive those human rights for the first time 22 an anti capitalist who advocated a non capitalist path of development 23 bishop believed in socialism one day replacing capitalism as the dominant mode of production as he noted during an interview conducted in september 1983 it took several hundred years for feudalism to be finally wiped out and capitalism to emerge as the new dominant mode of production and it will take several hundred years for capitalism to be finally wiped out before socialism becomes the new dominant mode the struggle is the same with our neighbours most people who are unprepared to accept any form of change not only resent it but resist it in very open forms i think you are going to find that there will be this difficulty amongst some of the leadership in neighbouring territories we think that the key is to get across the message to them that we pose no threat to them and we are not interested in toppling their governments we are not interested in imposing what we believe on them that is the first thing secondly we do really want to engage in as many areas of co operation as we can i think we have demonstrated that in a million different ways wherever we go we struggle not just for grenada but for either the oecs territory sub regional grouping or the wider caricom 24 25 in his role as prime minister bishop travelled abroad to cultivate relations and to inform the world about the grenada revolution in august 1983 after being invited to the us by the lobbying organisation transafrica and the congressional black caucus bishop delivered a speech to an enthusiastic audience at hunter college in brooklyn new york 26 it would be his last international speech he defended grenada s revolution comparing it to the american revolution and emancipation proclamation and then spoke of the continued economic subservience of the developing world of the overthrow of salvador allende s government in chile and the brutal contra interventions against the sandinistas 25 when alluding to the adversarial stance of the reagan administration toward grenada bishop declared the real reason for all this hostility is because some perceive that what is happening in grenada can lay the basis for a new socioeconomic and political path of development 27 according to jacobin a state department report from the time summarised the americans concerns the revolution in grenada it said was in some ways even worse than the cuban revolution that had rocked the region a quarter of a century earlier the vast majority of grenadians were black and therefore their struggle could resonate with thirty million black americans and the grenadian revolutionary leaders spoke english and so could communicate their message with ease to an american audience 25 arrest and execution edit in september 1983 simmering tensions within prg leadership reached a boiling point a faction within the party led by deputy prime minister bernard coard tried to make bishop either step down or agree to a power sharing arrangement 28 bishop considered the matter for a couple of weeks but ultimately rejected the proposal in response the coard faction in conjunction with the pra placed bishop under house arrest on 13 october 29 large public demonstrations gathered to demand bishop s release and his return to power the protesters numbered as high as 30 000 on an island of 100 000 and even some of bishop s guards joined the protests despite the sizeable support bishop knew the determination of the coard faction he confided to a journalist i am a dead man 28 on 19 october a crowd of protesters managed to free bishop from house arrest he made his way first by truck then by car to army headquarters at fort rupert known today as fort george which he and his supporters were able to seize control of at that point coard dispatched a military force from fort frederick to retake fort rupert bishop and seven others including his cabinet ministers and aides were captured a four man pra firing squad executed bishop and the others by machine gunning them in the fort rupert courtyard after bishop was dead a gunman slit his throat and cut off his finger to steal his ring the bodies were transported to a military camp on the peninsula of calivigny and partially burned in a pit the location of their remains is still unknown 30 31 partly as a result of bishop s murder the organization of eastern caribbean states oecs and the nations of barbados and jamaica appealed to the united states for assistance as did sir paul scoon governor general of grenada within days president ronald reagan launched a us led invasion to overthrow the prg family edit maurice bishop married nurse angela redhead in 1966 they had two children john born 1967 and nadia born 1969 angela emigrated to
