In tribute to the National Heroes that contributed
National Heroes Square的点评
点评：Sunday 8th February and we walked from the Cruise Terminal into the centre of Bridgetown, the Capital of Barbados. The walk in to the City was about 2.2 kilometres.
As it was Sunday virtually everything was closed so we took the opportunity to walk and visit the sights and points of interest that were available to see.
At the centre of the city is Heroes Square which is home to this iconic sculpture and monument which honours those who have helped shape Barbados through history. It portrays the journey of the Barbadian Family's from the past up to the present and pays tribute to it’s Heroes.
It shows how the people were shackled through slavery but that bondage was broke and the emergence of a free independent nation.
The monument pays homage to 11 National Heroes, each with their own tall metal stele, bearing their image and a brief resume about them.
They include Bussa, an African Slave who led the slave rebellion of 1816 in Barbados.
Others honoured included political figures such as Samuel Jackman Prescod the first non-white person elected to the Parliament. Also Sir Grantley Herbert Adams, who was the first Premier of Barbados. As well as Errol Walton Barrow , regarded as The "Father of Independence" and first Prime Minister.
Trade Unionist and Champions of workers rights are honoured including Charles Duncan O'Neal, Clement Osbourne Payne and Sir Frank Leslie Walcott. Also, Sir Hugh Worrell Springer, a former Governor-General and trade unionist.
A religious hero paid tribute to is Sarah Ann Gill, a religious pioneer who stood up for Methodist missionaries.
The sporting legend Sir Garfield St. Aubrun Sobers is also honoured. As well as the world famous pop star Rihanna (Robyn Rihanna Fenty)
The monument, it's symbolism and the honoured Heroes takes visitors through Barbados's painful journey through history. It acknowledges the role of Politicians, Trade Unionists, Religious Leaders, world famous cricket star and global pop icon and their role in shaping modern Barbados.
The words Inspired, Exulting and Free are carved in to three curved concrete pillars.
One of the metal plaques in the Square, sums it all up as follows:- "Monument Abstract - The Monument to The Barbadian Family is a representation of our journey as a people from past to present. The shackles of oppression pulled apart by the Ancestral Families of the past, show the breaking of the bondage of slavery. The Hero Steles populating the central area, speak to the emergence of our own National Heroes. At the centre, the statue of the Modern Family shows that the family has been at the nucleus ol our emergence as an independent nation and republic

翻译：2月8日星期日，我们从邮轮码头步行前往巴巴多斯的首都布里奇敦市中心。这段路程大约2.2公里。
由于是周日，几乎所有商店和场所都关门了，于是我们便借此机会漫步街头，参观那些仍可观赏的景点与名胜。
市中心有个名为“英雄广场”的地方，那里矗立着一座极具标志性的雕塑与纪念碑，用以纪念那些在历史进程中为巴巴多斯发展作出贡献的人们。它描绘了巴巴多斯人民从过去至今的奋斗历程，并向他们的英雄们致敬。
它展现了人民如何曾被奴隶制所束缚，但最终挣脱枷锁，建立起一个自由独立的国家。
这座纪念碑向11位民族英雄致敬，每位英雄都有一座高高的金属纪念碑，上面刻有他们的肖像及简短生平介绍。
其中就包括布萨——这位非洲裔奴隶曾于1816年领导了巴巴多斯的奴隶起义。其他受表彰者包括一些政治人物：比如 Samuel Jackman Prescod，他是首位当选议员的非白人；还有巴布亚新几内亚的首任总理 Grantley Herbert Adams爵士；以及被誉为“独立之父”并担任首任总理的 Errol Walton Barrow。
此外，那些为工人权益而奋斗的工会活动家和倡导者也受到了表彰，其中包括 Charles Duncan O'Neal、Clement Osbourne Payne以及 Frank Leslie Walcott爵士。还有 Hugh Worrell Springer爵士。他曾担任总督，也是一名工会活动家。
受到致敬的宗教英雄是莎拉·安·吉尔，她是一位为卫理公会传教士挺身而出的宗教先驱。
体育传奇人物加菲尔德·圣奥布伦·索伯斯爵士也同样受到表彰。世界著名的流行歌星蕾哈娜（罗宾·蕾哈娜·芬蒂）也在受表彰之列。
这座纪念碑及其象征意义，连同那些备受尊崇的英雄人物，带领参观者重温巴巴多斯在历史中所经历的艰辛历程。它肯定了政治家、工会活动家以及宗教领袖所发挥的作用。世界著名的板球明星与全球流行文化偶像，以及他们在塑造现代巴巴多斯过程中所发挥的作用。
“受鼓舞”、“欢欣鼓舞”和“自由”这几个词被刻在三根呈弧形的混凝土柱上。
广场上的一块金属牌匾如此总结道：“这座纪念碑是一种抽象象征——‘巴巴多斯家庭纪念碑’体现了我们民族从过去到现在的发展历程。昔日祖先们挣脱了压迫的枷锁，象征着奴隶制度的终结。”遍布中央区域的英雄纪念碑，象征着我们本国英雄的诞生。正中央的“现代家庭”雕像则表明，家庭始终是我们作为一个独立民族及共和国得以形成的核心。
