 Most Grenadian Americans supported the American invasion of Grenada in 1983 because they believed that, in this way, the US could restore democracy in that country.The Grenadians living in the US tend to help people who still live in their country of origin.On 28 January 1999, a press release was issued by the office of Prime Minister of Grenada which indicated that just the day before, nearly 300 Americans had met with Grenadian Prime Minister Keith Mitchell in the American city of Boston, to ask how they could participate in the development of Grenada.
