00:00Nous sommes tous de 1848, mais ces slogans sont exceptionnelles violent.
00:05En 1998, France s'éloignait le 150e anniversaire de la décret d'April 27, 1848,
00:12qui definitivement abolissait la slavery dans toutes les colonies de la France.
00:17Pour l'anniversaire, un slogan s'est choisi.
00:21All born in 1848, il ne va pas falloir.
00:23Avec les heures de l'histoire...
00:25...is a commemoration that consisted of, say, taking a besoetration of slavery
00:31and coming out with a slogan that, without exaggerating is connoisseur,
00:36is considered entirely revisionist.
00:38Slogan, all born in 1848, implies there was no history before.
00:43No one died, suffered, was persecuted, or was abused.
00:49None of that happened.
00:50There was no marooning, no resistance.
00:52There were no obstinate abortions by women.
00:56There were no plantation fires.
00:58There was no poisoning of livestock.
01:01There was no sabotage of work on the plantations.
01:04In response, activists, artists, intellectuals, and citizens mobilized
01:10to remind people that before being abolitionists, France was also a slave-owning country.
01:1640,000 people marched in silence on May 1998, and everyone proclaimed it.
01:22They were the sons and daughters of slaves.
01:24In other words, it was an extraordinary claim.
01:27Ah, in 1998, these people proclaimed, self-claimed,
01:31and possessed the word slave.
01:34In other words, there was a surge in the collective consciousness,
01:38the popular consciousness, the popular consciousness.
01:40We come from this history.
01:41We come from these people who were captured and shackled.
