Nearly a century has passed since The Bermudian first went to print, and in that time, both our island and our way of life have undergone profound transformation. From the days when native cedars blanketed our shores, horse and carriages were the favoured mode of transportation, and discriminatory policies were the government norm, we have grown and evolved in every way. And mostly for the better.
In this special series, From Then to Now: 95 Years that Changed Everything we chronicle the people and pivotal events that most powerfully shaped our island over the past nine decades.
