Social activist group the Young Progressives marked 50 years in action with a show of appreciation for founding member “High Priest Shiloh” Gershwyn Smith.

Mr Smith was presented with a picture of John Smith’s Bay and the Devil’s Hole community, where the group came together.

The gift came from members Cleveland “Outta Sight” Simmons and Michael Markham, who created the digital scene.

Mr Markham said: “Shiloh started out on the basis of peace, love and unity in the community and this is to recognise that.”

Mr Simmons said the presentation was also made on behalf of the Bermuda Island Agency entertainment group, which showcased local artists at a December 30 show, the first of three set tob held.
