Cultural Thursday Presentation: Grenada

The island nation of Grenada may refer to itself as the "Spice Island" for its amazing culinary diversity but older citizens of the USA will recall the 1984 U.S. military invasion of tiny Grenada ordered by President Ronald Reagan.  When it was over, socialist leader Maurice Bishop and his entire cabinet were dead.  Their bodies were never found and no one is certain exactly how they met their fate.  By force, Grenada's economy was diverted from socialism to capitalism.
