Hommage aux esclaves des colonies françaises, Memorial sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France
The monument features a commemorative board with engraved text addressing the history of slavery in French colonies, positioned in a public garden setting.
President Nicolas Sarkozy unveiled this memorial on May 10, 2011, following the 2001 French Senate law that recognized slavery as a crime against humanity.
The engraved text emphasizes the role of enslaved individuals in establishing the foundational values of liberty, equality, and fraternity in the French Republic.
Located near Rue de Medicis in the 6th arrondissement, the memorial is accessible during park hours from early morning until evening throughout the year.
The monument stands adjacent to Le cri, l'ecrit sculpture, forming a connected narrative about slavery through different artistic expressions in the garden.
