Who introduced the Anti-Discrimination Resolution in 1956?

• A. Sir Ettienne Dupuch
• B. Sir Lynden Pindling
• C. Sir Milo Butler
• D. Sir Arthur Hanna

Answer: (A)

Focus here is on identifying who led the push against racial discrimination in The Bahamas in 1956 by introducing a formal resolution. Sir Ettienne Dupuch, a prominent journalist and legislator, used his position in the Legislative Council to present an anti-discrimination measure that called for equal access to public accommodations for all Bahamians, regardless of race. This move brought the issue into parliamentary debate and helped lay groundwork for later civil rights progress in the islands. While Lynden Pindling, Milo Butler, and Arthur Hanna were important political leaders of the era who contributed to reform in various ways, it was Dupuch who introduced that specific resolution in 1956.
