The Government of Anguilla declared March 2 a public holiday in 2010 to honor James Ronald Webster, Father of the Nation, for leading the Anguilla Revolution and championing the island's self-determination and development.
Introduction
On March 2, we celebrate the life and legacy of James Ronald Webster on James Ronald Webster Day. He was a political leader in Anguilla who fought for his country's independence from British rule in the late 1960s. Thanks to his determination and bravery, Anguilla gained self-governance in 1967. This day is not only a celebration of Webster's achievements, but also a reminder of the power of perseverance and standing up for what you believe in. So let's take a moment to honor this great leader and reflect on how we can make positive changes in our own communities.
