On this day, 6 March 1964, a striking sugarcane worker called Kowsilla, a.k.a. Alice, was killed in Guyana by being severed in two by a tractor driven by a scab. The British Tate sugar company was using African scabs to try to break a national strike of predominantly Asian workers. A dozen women were picketing the Leonora estate when the scab, Felix Ross, drove over them killing Kowsilla, breaking the backs of and permanently disabling two others, Jagdai and Daisee Sookram, and severely injuring Kisson Dai, who lost a kidney, and others. Ross was acquitted of any crime. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1367625660089247/?type=3
