Comment j'ai retrouvé mes parents qui ont vécu au temps de l'esclavage colonial?

This is the story of Emmanuel Gordien, great-grandson of the enslaved Bourriqui, number 2668, deported from Africa, and the enslaved Denis, number 2730. We learn how he traced his ancestors and reconstructed the history of the Colin and Gordien families from the commune of Port-Louis in Guadeloupe. All the data presented during this conference was verified through genealogical research in the archives of Guadeloupe and Paris.

This activity is co-organized by L’Arbre du Voyageur, the Comité Marche du 23 Mai 1998 (CM98), and CIDHICA. The CM98, an association founded by the organizers of the “March of 40,000” on May 23, 1998, has since become the Institute of French Descendants of Enslaved People. Its primary mission is to preserve and defend the memory of the victims of colonial slavery. Its popular university teaches the history of the former French colonies, particularly the history of slavery, as well as the anthropology of societies shaped by this history.
