#KeysToThePast
This week’s key has been found at the ‘We Arrive’ Statue!
In 1835, a ship carrying enslaved Africans entered Bermuda’s waters. Through legal action led by the Friendly Society, 78 individuals were brought before the court and given a choice, freedom or return. Seventy-seven chose freedom.
This statue marks the place where they first stepped onto Bermudian soil as free people, beginning a new chapter in their lives, and in Bermuda’s history.
A powerful moment of courage and change.
Didn’t get this week’s key? Don’t worry, we have 6 weeks to go! Remember to listen to @thedailyhour for clues, and turn on your post notifications for our IG page in order to stay in the know! 🇧🇲
Week 2, and the search continues!
“Not all ships brought chains that day. One carried hope across the bay. Seventy-seven chose a different shore, where freedom waited just ahead of the oar. Find where footsteps first met land, and liberty began hand in hand.”
Where will this clue lead you?
If you find the key, collect it and give the CURB office a call to confirm. We’ll fill you in, you’ll claim your prize, and we’ll tell you the full story of the ground you’re standing on.
Happy Treasure Hunting!

This week’s key has been found, and the location was the Rubber Tree.
This site was once a burial ground for Black Bermudians who were not permitted to be buried in Anglican churchyards alongside white residents. In life, they were separated. Even in death, that separation continued.
Though the ground was deconsecrated over 50 years ago, it remains a place of remembrance today, marked to honor those who were laid to rest there and to ensure their story is never forgotten.
Stay tuned. Next week, a new clue drops!
It’s officially on, Bermuda. 🔑
If you missed the memo: we’ve stashed eight keys around the island, each one hidden at a place that shaped this country but never quite made it into the textbook you got in school. Every week for the next eight weeks, a new clue drops on The Daily Hour first thing in the morning, and we’ll repost it right here for anyone who misses the show.
This is week one. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to lace up your sneakers, this is it.
Here’s the riddle:
Where roots remember what walls once refused,
And silence now speaks for voices once denied.
A sacred ground, no longer blessed,
Yet marked so none forget who rests.
Think you know it? Go take a walk. If I you spot the key, hold onto it and give the CURB office a call to confirm. We’ll fill you in, you’ll claim your prize, and we’ll tell you the full story of the ground you’re standing on.
Keep your ear on The Daily Hour every morning!

Listen, Bermuda. We’ve stashed eight keys around the island. 🔑
Each one leads to a place that shaped this country but never quite made it into the history book you got in school. For the next eight weeks, a new clue drops on The Daily Hour every morning, and we’ll repost it here for anyone who misses the show. Work out the riddle, go find the key, and bring it to the CURB office to claim a prize and hear the whole story of the ground you just walked on.
This is our island and our memory, and there’s no better month to walk it together.
Huge thanks to ReGen for making this happen, and to Titan Tours and Market Place for keeping the prize box stocked.
So who’s in?

📢 Language for Liberation: WHITE PRIVILEGE
Let’s talk about something that makes a lot of people uncomfortable.
White privilege doesn’t mean your life has been easy. It doesn’t mean you haven’t worked hard or struggled. It doesn’t mean you’re racist.
Here’s what it does mean:
White privilege is the sociological term for advantages that exist in society because of your race. Advantages that people who aren’t white don’t get in those same spaces, whether that’s your workplace, your community, or your country.
The tricky part? Most people benefiting from white privilege don’t even realize they have it. It’s invisible to the people who hold it. That’s what makes it so powerful, and so hard to dismantle.
Examples:
→ Walking into a store without being followed
→ Seeing people who look like you in leadership positions
→ Not having your qualifications questioned because of your skin color
→ Being given the benefit of the doubt
These aren’t guarantees of success. They’re head starts. Small, often invisible advantages that add up over a lifetime.
Understanding white privilege isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness. Because once you see the system, you can’t unsee it. And once you see it, you can choose to help dismantle it.

We’re proud to stand with a Bermudian legend.
CURB is honored to be the local charity partner for “Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story,” a powerful documentary premiering in London on March 25, 2026.
Clyde Best did more than play football, he transformed it.
In the late 1960s and 70s, Best became the first Black football superstar of the modern television era in England, facing open racism while excelling at the highest level of the game. He scored 58 goals in 218 appearances for West Ham United and became a symbol of resilience, excellence, and change.
On Easter Sunday 1972, Best, Clive Charles, and Ade Coker made history as the first Black trio to start a match in England’s First Division. That moment transcended sport.
This documentary, directed by award-winning filmmaker Dan Egan and narrated by Tony D. Head, tells that story, and so much more.
📍 London Premiere: March 25, 2026, Sadler’s Wells East Theatre
📍 Bermuda Screenings: April 21-26, 2026, Earl Cameron Theatre & Ruth Seaton James Auditorium
Tickets are on sale now. This is Bermuda’s story. This is our history. And we’re proud to support it.

Had the honour of attending an incredible Women’s Month event with MaryLouise Patterson, author of Letters from Langston: From the Harlem Renaissance to the Red Scare and Beyond. Hearing her share stories about her uncle, Langston Hughes, and the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance was truly inspiring. The conversation reminded me of the power of community, connection, and storytelling and how the voices of those who came before us continue to shape the world we live in today. Grateful for an afternoon full of history, reflection, and a reminder of why amplifying stories of resilience and equity matters. 💚

📢 Language for Liberation: ANTI-RACISM
Understanding what racism is matters. But understanding what anti-racism is? That’s how we actually move forward.
Anti-racism isn’t passive. It’s not just “not being racist.” It’s an active, consistent process of change.
It means:
✊🏾 Challenging individual prejudice when we see it
✊🏽 Dismantling institutional barriers that uphold inequality
✊🏼 Addressing the systemic racism embedded in our structures
✊🏿 Confronting the oppression and injustice that racism creates
This is intentional work. It requires commitment, not just good intentions. It means examining policies, questioning norms, and actively working to eliminate racism at every level.
Anti-racism is a verb, not a noun. It’s what we do, not just what we believe.
And it’s the foundation of everything CURB stands for: uprooting racism in all its forms, not just calling it out, but actively working to dismantle it.
If we’re serious about change, we have to be serious about anti-racism.
