Enmore is a village in the Demerara-Mahaica region along the coastal belt of Guyana. Enmore has a long history in sugar production. On 16 June 1948, five workers were killed during a labor protest against the harsh conditions and low wages. Referred to as the Enmore Martyrs and buried at Le Repentir Cemetery in Georgetown, events are held annually to remember their sacrifice, and they are also included in the mural 'Memorabilia II' painted in 1976 at the National Cultural Centre.
