Timeline

1908

Ebenezer Theodore Joshua (23 May 1908 – 14 March 1991) was a Vincentian politician and the first chief minister of Saint Vincent from 1960 to 1967.

1920

As a young man in the 1920s, he went to work on the nearby island of Trinidad.

1938

There he became involved in trade unionism with Buzz Butler, and was an official of the Oilfields Workers' Trade Union from 1938 until 1950, when he tried unsuccessfully to be elected to the Trinidad legislature.

1951

Returning to Saint Vincent, Joshua entered politics, and was elected to the island's assembly in 1951 as a member of the Eighth Army of Liberation.

1952

In 1952 he and his wife Ivy Joshua founded the People's Political Party (PPP) as the political arm of the Federated Industrial Allied Workers Union (FIAWU), a trade union organization aimed at representing agricultural and shipyard workers.

The party was staunchly against colonialism and the plantocracy.

1956

He was the Leader of the Legislative Council from 1956 to 1961.

Joshua was born in Kingstown, Saint Vincent, British Windward Islands.

1957

In 1957, Ebenezer and Ivy became the first married couple to be elected to a parliament of the British West Indies.

1961

In 1961, upon Saint Vincent and the Grenadines gaining increased autonomy, Joshua became chief minister.

He held the additional portfolio of minister of finance.

His PPP saw continued success in subsequent elections.

Joshua supported the unsuccessful Federation of the West Indies.

1962

In 1962 Joshua discontinued government subsidies for the sugar growers, leading the Mt Bentinck Sugar Cane Factory to close after years of financial mismanagement.

He then travelled to Barbados for a regional meeting on agricultural problems; a misunderstanding of this sequence of events and Vincentian history by American musician Eric Von Schmidt became the basis for the song "Joshua Gone Barbados".

1967

In 1967 the PPP lost their parliamentary majority and Joshua was succeeded by Robert Milton Cato, leader of the Saint Vincent Labour Party.

1972

After the 1972 elections, Joshua was appointed Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance in the cabinet of James Fitz-Allen Mitchell.

1974

He resigned in 1974.

Joshua remained in parliament, but the PPP began to decline as the New Democratic Party emerged as political competition.

1979

In 1979 the PPP lost all parliamentary representation.

1980

Joshua resigned as party leader in 1980, and the party was dissolved in 1984.

In 1980, Joshua became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

He served for a time in the presidency of the LDS Church's Kingstown Branch, then the only congregation of the church in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

1991

Joshua died in Kingstown, Saint Vincent, on 14 March 1991.

The Arnos Vale Airport was renamed as the E. T. Joshua Airport in his honour.

2017
