Emancipation Statue

This statue of a slave with broken chains stands in a roundabout on the ABC highway. It commemorates Bussa who inspired the revolt against slavery which was abolished in 1834. Abolition was not the total end however since these "freed slaves" were then forced into a four-year apprentice program where they worked 45-hour weeks without pay in exchange for the rent of a tiny hut.

The monument is by Barbadian sculpture Karl Broodhagen.
