The History of Lavity Stoutt's Birthday?

Born on March 7, 1929, Stoutt rose to become one of the most influential leaders in the history of the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

He was the first Chief Minister of the BVI (now called Premier) and held the position for over 16 years across multiple terms, making him the longest-serving elected leader in the territory's history.

Stoutt played a central role in the modernization of the Virgin Islands, particularly in education, infrastructure and governance. He was instrumental in the founding of the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College, a lasting symbol of his commitment to education and opportunity.

After his passing in 1995, the government of the BVI declared a public holiday to commemorate his legacy. Rather than observing it on his exact birthday (March 7), it was set on the first Monday in March, allowing for annual community-wide observance with a long weekend.

The holiday is a day to honor Stoutt's leadership, vision, and contributions to the territory's growth. It emphasizes his legacy as a champion of education and self-determination for the Virgin Islands.
