MIKE MALECAUT SEPTEMBER 2009 Le Morne Mountain The story Maroonage The Village Heritage Values Activities Credits Pictures

MIKE MALECAUT SEPTEMBER 2009 Le Morne Brabant became well-known in the 19th century when runaway slaves used this mountain as a hideaway. After the abolishment of slavery on Mauritius, a police expedition traveled to the rock on 1 st February 1835 to tell the slaves that they are free people. However, the slaves misunderstood the expedition and jumped to death. Since then, this day is celebrated by Mauritian creoles as Annual Commemoration of the Abolition of Slavery.
