The hundreds of thousands of labourers who made it possible are hardly credited for the product of their sweat. In commemoration of mayday Foroyaa will focus on the dockworkers who made it possible in 1961 to shake he foundation of the colonial order and urged the colonial administration to respond to the demands of the political parties and leaders .Many of them made it possible for government to earn revenue from the ports but have either died in poverty or are still living in poverty due to neglect.
