ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Antigua’s highest mountain officially became “Mount Obama” on Tuesday as the small Caribbean nation celebrated the American president on his birthday and saluted him as a symbol of black achievement.
Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer presided over the re-christening ceremony at the base of the mountain, unveiling a stone sculpture and plaque honoring the president as an inspiration in the twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda and throughout the Caribbean.
“This great political achievement by Barack Obama resonated with me in a way that I felt compelled to do something symbolic and inspiring,” Spencer told the crowd of about 300, including several U.S. officials, at the base of the mountain near the island’s southern coast.
