Sir Randol Fawkes
In this article, Sir Randol F. Fawkes (1924-2000), better known as the Father of Labour in The Bahamas, gives an eyewitness account of the day he saw “hundreds of ragged, black workers moving downhill towards us. I thought all the gates of hell had opened and the demons let loose.”

Sir Randol Fawkes, the Father of the Labour Movement, was no stranger to the Guardian’s newsroom. He came and went like he was one of us. For the most part, he just wanted someone to talk to, and if you needed his input for a story, he gladly gave it.
