Descendants of slaves and slave traders unite for memory in Nantes
In Nantes, a 'Fraternity Mast' is inaugurated Saturday honoring the shared memory of descendants of enslaved people and French slave traders, symbolizing historical reconciliation.
This unique project brings together French families linked by the history of the triangular trade and Atlantic slave trade, a long-taboo issue in French society.
The initiative illustrates a movement toward collective recognition of painful history and building shared memory, beyond hereditary divisions.
