Maurice Rupert Bishop was a Grenadian politician and revolutionary who seized power in a coup in 1979 from Eric Gairy and served as Prime Minister of the People's Revolutionary Government of Grenada until 1983, when he was overthrown in another coup by Bernard Coard, a member of his own government, and executed. Bishop was born in Aruba to Grenadian parents, Rupert and Alimenta Bishop, and migrated with his parents to Grenada in 1950, when he was six years old. In 1983, disputes among the party leadership occurred. A group within the party tried to make Bishop either step down or agree to a power-sharing agreement with Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard. Bishop rejected these proposals and was eventually deposed and placed under house arrest during the first week of October 1983 by Coard. Large public demonstrations in various parts of the island demanded Bishop's freedom and restoration. During one demonstration, the crowd freed Bishop from house arrest. Firstly in a truck but then by car, Bishop made his way to the army headquarters at Fort Rupert (known today as Fort George). After he arrived, a military force was dispatched from Fort Frederick to Fort Rupert. Fighting broke out at Fort Rupert, and many civilians were killed. Bishop and seven others, including cabinet ministers, were captured. Later that day, 19th. October, they were executed by a four-man Peoples Revolutionary Army firing squad. #MauriceBishop #Grenada #Aruba #Revolutionary #Islandpeeps (at Grenada)

"Let imperialism, let local reaction, let counter revolution hear this from the people, that for every one of us they kill ten thousand more will come forward to carry the struggle on." -Maurice Bishop, leader of Revolutionary Grenada (5/29/44-10/19/83) #mauricebishop #grenada #revolution
