Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds
THE MAKING OF A NATIONAL HERO
Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds—the only living National Hero of St. Kitts and Nevis—helped shape the modern identity of the twin-island Caribbean federation. Serving first as Premier (1980–1983) and then as the nation’s first Prime Minister from 1983 to 1995, he led the country through the defining transition to full independence from the United Kingdom on September 19, 1983—and worked to safeguard stability and unity in a young federation finding its footing.
In his memoir, “The Making of a National Hero,” Simmonds reflects on humble beginnings and a life that carried him from local streets to regional leadership. His story is also a portrait of a nation: resilient, community-minded, and determined to chart its own future.
