Several sugar workers were killed there I think in 1913 or 1914 before the first world war... when they were protesting the harsh working conditions at Rose Hall...

One of the leaders of that protest was a muslim man I think "Bachus" ...

All of the leaders of the 1913 Rosehall protests were Muslims - Moula Bux, Jahangir Khan, Dildar Khan, Chotey Khan, Aladi, and Amirbaksh -- stood up to the injustices on the plantations (as referenced by Basdeo Mangru in one of his publications).
