"On August 17, Curacao commemorate the revolt of the slaves in 1795. This revolt was lead by an independence fighter called Tula. Tula was one of the slaves that was currently stationed in Curacao at that time. A monument was especially made to commemorate Tula. This monument is located on the south coast of Curacao between "Koredo" and "Holiday Beach Hotel".The revolt started at Plantage Knip van Caspar Lodewijk van Uytrecht at Band'abou in Curacao on the morning of August 17, 1795. Tula was able to convince 40-50 slaves to join him in his fight. He was able to freed himself and these slaves and escaped from the camp and went to Lagun, where he was able to freed 22 more slaves."
