## Resource

On July 17th, sixty-two years ago, twenty-two-year-old activist Michael Forde died heroically while trying to defuse a bomb at Freedom House—saving dozens inside, including Janet Jagan. A calculated act of political violence during Guyana’s volatile path to independence, the bombing was part of a broader attack that also struck GIMPEX, triggering constitutional changes from Britain. Forde’s sacrifice, made in the heat of Cold War tensions and fierce domestic rivalry, stands as a haunting symbol of the cost of freedom—and the courage of those who fought for it.
