HISTORIAN RUNOKO RASHIDI BEFORE A STATUE OF ALIDA-- MOTHER OF BONI--PROBABLY SURINAME'S GREATEST FREEDOM FIGHTER.  THE STORY THAT I WAS TOLD WAS THAT HER BREAST WAS CUT OF BY HER SLAVE OWNER'S WIFE WHEN SHE FOUND THAT HE HAD IMPREGNATED HER.  THE RED PAINT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT.  WE ARE IN WESTERN SURINAME.  PHOTO BY RAMON HOOPLOT.
