Timeline

1919

George Cadle Price (15 January 1919 – 19 September 2011) was a Belizean statesman who served as the head of government of Belize from 1961 to 1984 and 1989 to 1993.

1931

He survived the hurricane of 1931 which destroyed SJC at Loyola Park, swimming away from the wreckage.

Under the Jesuits, he was exposed to the teachings of Catholic social justice, in particular the encyclical Rerum novarum.

Upon graduation, the young Price felt a call to the priesthood, so he went to study abroad, first attending Saint Augustine's Minor Seminary in Mississippi, United States, and later the Mayor Seminario Conciliar in Guatemala City.

Throughout his life Price remained a devout Roman Catholic and attended Mass daily.

The war in Europe prevented him from completing his studies in Rome and, instead, George Price returned to Belize.

He was hired by local businessman Robert Sidney Turton as his private secretary.

Price also contributed to the Belize Billboard, then run by Philip Goldson.

1944

After receiving encouragement from Turton, Price ran for election to the Belize City Council in 1944 and 1947, being successful in 1947.

1947

He entered politics in 1947 with his election to the Belize City Council.

1949

In 1949, with the devaluation of the British Honduran dollar he, together with a group of citizens, formed the People's Committee.

It was the start of the "peaceful, constructive Belizean revolution".

1950

On 29 September 1950, he co-founded the People's United Party, which he led for four decades and which was devoted to the political and economic independence of the British colony, then known as British Honduras.

George Price was born in Belize City in what was then British Honduras, to William and Irene (née Escalante) Price.

He had eight sisters and two brothers.

Price received his early education at Holy Redeemer Primary School and St. John's College High School (SJC).

Upon the formation of the People's Committee (PC) in 1950, Price was named its Assistant Secretary, and in a famous speech later that year claimed that "National Unity" propelled the PC's actions.

1954

Elected to the colony's newly created Legislative Assembly in 1954, he also served as mayor of Belize City from 1956 to 1962.

1956

With the formation of the PUP, Price's stature rose and he ascended through the party ranks until he became Party Leader following a leadership dispute in 1956.

In 1956, Price became party leader of the PUP.

1960

Price effectively dominated Belizean politics from the early 1960s until his 1996 retirement from party leadership, having been the nation's head of government under various titles for most of that period.

1961

As First Minister, a post he held since 1961, he led the team which began negotiations over independence with the United Kingdom.

1964

He maintained that post as Premier in 1964.

1981

He was the first minister and premier under British rule until independence in 1981 and was the nation's first prime minister after independence that year.

He is considered one of the principal architects of Belizean independence.

Today he is referred to by many as the "Father of the Nation".

In 1981 Belize gained its independence, and Price served as the country's first prime minister and foreign minister until 1984.

The PUP was defeated in the elections by the United Democratic Party under Manuel Esquivel, with Price unexpectedly losing his own House of Representatives seat to a political newcomer.

Price continued to lead the PUP from outside the National Assembly while Florencio Marin became the Leader of the Opposition.

1982

In 1982, he was made a member of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom.

1989

Price resumed the post of prime minister after successfully returning to the House in the 1989 election, serving until 1993, when he was again succeeded by Esquivel.

1996

In October 1996 he announced his resignation as party leader, and on 10 November 1996 was formally succeeded by Said Musa.

2000

He has received similar honours in other Caribbean and Central American countries.
