Stanley Brown
Brown became one of the three leaders of the 1969 Curaçao uprising, a series of riots mainly on 30 May 1969. These riots started with a strike of workers in the oil industry. A protest rally during the strike turned violent, leading to widespread looting and destruction of buildings and vehicles in the central business district of Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao. Following the uprising, he founded the Workers' Liberation Front together with Amador Nita and Wilson Godett. This was a radical socialist political party, that in the Curaçao general elections (until the 2017 Curaçao general election). After the demolition of the Berlin Wall, he stopped with his idealism of a socialist Curaçao and focused on liberalism. In 1993 he founded the political party C93. This party strived for a liberal, capitalist, humanistic and democratic Curaçao and wanted to make Curaçao a Dutch province.
