HOUSE OF NEGRITUDE AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Museum in Champagney giving a detailed presentation of slavery and the long process leading to its abolition in France.
This unique museum has a unique history. His founder René Discover became acquainted with the early 1970 s of the Champagney grievance book, written on the eve of the French Revolution. To his surprise, he discovers an extraordinary and visionary article: the inhabitants of this small village ask the king to end Black slavery. In 1789, however, the centre of Champagney has no more than 200 homes. People are simple, poor, the earth thankless and the climate harsh. Among his inhabitants, a noble native of Champagney and officer of the King's Guard, Jacques Antoine Priqueler, attends the progressive circles of Paris. It is he who informs them of the abject fate reserved for blacks in Africa. The House of Négritude therefore develops, around this exceptional article, a detailed presentation of slavery and the long process leading to its abolition in France in 1848.
