Bahamas Land Justice is committed to protecting generational, commonage and private land rights and advancing justice for marginalized, vulnerable, and disenfranchised Bahamians.
We advocate for legal recognition of ancestral land ownership, equitable land policies, and
alignment with constitutional protections and international reparations frameworks.
We envision a Bahamas where:
Across The Bahamas, families have lived on and cultivated land for generations without formal
title. These lands represent more than property—they are identity, culture, and survival.
The movement gained urgency with the Ann Millar legacy case, where land granted to formerly
enslaved people in 1869 has been adjudicated / tried in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal
and the Privy Council and yet there are confusion and dispute. This case reflects a broader
national issue affecting communities across the islands.
Bahamas Land Justice was formed to bring awareness, advocacy, and legal clarity to this
growing crisis.

Our leadership includes community advocates, legal advisors, historians, and descendants of
affected families working collectively to protect land rights.
