This monument was unveiled by former President Burnham on 23 May 1976. It commemorates the 1763 slave  rebellion; the first revolt that came close to success. Cuffy as   the   leader of this insurrection has been declared to be one of our national heroes. His legacy has been immortalized in bronze.   Philip Moore    was  the sculptor of this   impressive work  of art. The monument is 10.1 meters (33 feet) high and  is  built on a concrete plinth designed by Albert Rodrigues. It    symbolizes the struggle of the Guyanese people for their liberation. It is situated at the eastern end of Brickdam.   Source: National Trust of Guyana website (http://www.nationaltrust.gov.gy)
