I wrote about the history of Grenada’s Carnival and how traditional mas characters can be used as political counter narrative; also went to Spicemas last year and it was an experience!

Today's question is now live!

If you said A) Best Ever Candy Company you were correct.

In 1928 Ulric Mortimer, Sr took the knowledge passed down to him by his mother to open a candy shop. Although dubbed Mortimer’s Candy Kitchen by the community.

The candy store’s official name was Best Ever Candy Company and they officially changed their name to Mortimer Candies in 1999.

So. How did you do this week? How did your house do? Tune in tomorrow to see who’ll be sitting at the top of the leader board this week!

I have this thing, anytime I see a white (non Bahamian) person making content about living in The Bahamas, I automatically skip. Cause…nope. I will not elaborate.

Today in Professor Cody’s class he showed you B) Aliger gallus more commonly known as the Rooster Tail conch. His hint?

Fog rolling in
Horn cries in the distance
Legs crawl about
Horn dies out

A cipher- like poem with a nod to Foghorn Leghorn, the popular rooster from Looney Tunes! So how did you do? How did your friends do?

See you tomorrow for Question 4!

Today we asked, “If the Ministry of Tourism commissioned a media program to teach Bahamians the importance of being kind to tourists, what would that program be called?”
‍
If you said D) Fergusons of Farm Road, you were correct.
Your hint today was “Slash and Burn”, a method of farming where vegetation is cut down and burned.
‍
Fergusons of Farm Road was a media show commissioned by then Minister of Tourism, Sir Clement T. Maynard, to teach Bahamians the importance of being kind to tourists. Written by Justice Jeanne I. Thompson and Jamaican writer Sonia Mills, the show aired for 137 weeks on ZNS in the 1970s in 15-minute segments.
‍
So, how did you do? How did your friends and your houses do? See you tomorrow for Question 3 of The Bahamian Citizenship Test!

Welcome to semester 4 of The Bahamian Citizenship Test!

Our first question of the semester was:

If you had to debrief the first act of a film to a fellow thespian during intermission, who would it be?

A) Esther Rolle
B) Harry Belafonte
C) Cab Calloway
D) Roxie Roker

Your Hint: Like a bridge over troubled waters 👀

To understand today’s question, you needed to know the name of the bridge linking New Providence to Paradise Island: the Sir Sidney Poitier Bridge.

Early in his career, Sir Sidney Poitier and his best friend couldn’t afford two tickets to the cinema. So they came up with a creative solution: one would watch the first half of the film, then during intermission debrief the other on everything that had happened so far. After the movie ended, they’d piece the full story together.
That best friend? B.) Harry Belafonte.

So, how did you do? How did your friends — and your house — perform?

Jump in the line, and we’ll see you tomorrow for Question Two of Semester 4!
