Since 2009, the Collectif pour la semaine de la mémoire de l’esclavage of Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines (CSME-SQY) has been organising an annual week to commemorate the memory of slavery in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (from 4th to 10th May), which takes place in several municipalities.

In 1998, the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherche d'Outre-Mer(CERFOM) set up an exhibition entitled "Esclavage" (Slavery). The association, based in Creteil, set up 55 panels of 60X80 cm and 27 texts on the subject of slavery and its abolition.

The exhibition was installed in many places, such as:

Each year, on 23rd May, the association Comité Marche du 23 mai 1998 - CM98 organizes, in collaboration with numerous other associations, a series of events to honour the victims of colonial slavery, which is now known as Limyè ba Yo (recognition-reconciliation).

The Université populaire, or People's University, is an initiative created by the association Comité du Marche mai 1998 - CM98. It includes the organization of courses, colloquia and interventions within schools to teach about post-slavery societies and racism. It often involves academics and other experts on the history of slavery and abolition, who are invited to give open or public lectures.
