For the second year in a row, a photographic exhibition is being held at Independence Hall in Belize City.

The theme is “Remembering the Legacy of George Price.”

And being also called the father of the nation for leading the country into independence.  A photo-exhibit of newspapers, of pictures, of past history, the 1954 general election; the line of people going in there, the various leaders who have visited with Belize or with the right honorable George Cadle Price and this year we also put in also our leader, the new leader of the party.
