The controversy surrounding the 'YOU by Moët & Chandon' events at the ACTe Memorial raises fundamental questions about the memory of slavery in Guadeloupe. Serge Romana, president of the Slavery and Reconciliation Foundation, questions the status of this monument in light of the absence of family transmission of slavery narratives. He advocates for an approach that values historical sites and slave cemeteries, in order to reconstruct lineages and revive this collective memory.
