Let's go.

Our mystery man lived in a humble Georgetown cottage. His work among the working poor was known around the world and one of Stalin's men invited him to Russia. When he returned to Guyana the newspapers called him a "communist" and a "bolshevik."

However, he was given a medal of the Order of the British Empire [OBE].

Who was he?

Good morning

 

H. N. Critchlow

Correct!

Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow founded the first trade union in the English-speaking Caribbean, the British Guiana Labour Union.

He was mainly responsible for the 8-hour workday in Guyana and he campaigned steadily many years for May 1 to be declared a national holiday. On May 1, 1958 his dream came through but he died a few days later.

The then Premier Cheddi Jagan idolized Critchlow and built a monument for him in 1964 in the Public Buildings compound.
