 Mr. Moncur’s Notes

What is the Quiet Revolution?

The Quiet Revolution was the transition or change from white minority rule to black majority rule through democractic elections held in 1967.  Majority rule was considered to be a political system in which the group that had the most members has the power to make decisions.

The quiet revolution is a term that refers to the movement toward and the achievement of majority rule in The Bahamas.  Majority rule in The Bahamas was a quiet, bloodless revolution.  It was a civil rights victory for all Bahamians, including white Bahamians.  This was brought about by a political move by Sir Randolph Fawkes and Sir Alvyn Braynen.

The Quiet Revolution also refers to the early beginning of majority rule in The Bahamas. July 10th, 1973, Independence Day, marked the end of the Quiet Revolution.

The Quiet Revolution is also the title of a book written by Dr. Doris Johnson.  She was the first woman senator in The Bahamas.

The Quite Revolution in The Bahamas was the transfer of power  from the white minority led government to the black majority without bloodshed.

Suffrage means the right to vote in political elections.
