This larger-than-life statue of a slave -- with raised hands, evoking both contempt and victory, and broken chains hanging from each wrist -- is commonly referred to as the Bussa Statue. Bussa was the man who, in 1816, led the first slave rebellion in Barbados. The statue, the work of Barbadian sculptor Karl Brodhagen, was erected in 1985 to commemorate the emancipation of the slaves in 1834. It is all the more poignant in that it overlooks a broad cane field just outside Bridgetown.
