Isaac Glanville Fonseca
Isaac Glanville Fonseca was one of the early political figures in the British Virgin Islands around the time of the restoration of democracy in 1950. Fonseca was one of the community leaders who participated in the "march of 1949" and later went on to become one of the longest serving legislators in the British Virgin Islands, winning a total of six general elections before retiring from politics.
==The march of 1949==
In 1949 an unlikely political hero emerged in the British Virgin Islands. Theodolph H Faulkner was a fisherman from Anegada, who came to Tortola with his pregnant wife. He had a disagreement with the medical officer, and he went straight to the marketplace and for several nights criticised the government with mounting passion. His oratory struck a chord, and a movement started. Led by community leaders such as Isaac Fonseca and Carlton de Castro, a throng of over 1,500 British Virgin Islanders marched on the Administrator's office on 24 November 1949 and presented their grievances.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BVI election and information results 1950–2011 )〕
This led directly to the enacting of a new constitution for the Territory under which the first general election was held in 1950. Four candidates were elected on a Territory wide basis to serve on the new Legislative Council alongside two appointed members, two ''ex officio'' members, and the Administrator of the British Virgin Islands. Isaac Fonseca was amongst the four candidates elected, and a bust memorialising him and the other inaugural legislators stands outside of the House of Assembly.
