Scope:
Regional/local: A smaller organization or association focused on local/regional activities.
Summary of objectives:
- To promote the life of the population of the former French colonies living in metropolitan France, following the recognition by the French Republic of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery perpetrated from the fifteenth century against the African populations who were deported in Europe, in the Americas and in the Indian Ocean, as a crime against humanity
- To develop all actions aiming to promote their customs, cultures, traditions and roots because it accepts the "10th of May" as the annual commemoration day of the abolition of slavery in France, but also because it was on the 10th of May 1802 that the battle of Basse-Terre started in Guadeloupe, through the General Richepance, sent by Napoleon Bonaparte, who killed more than 10% of the Guadeloupian population
- To develop all actions and activities that will allow to offer them a compensation for this day of "10th of May", so that it definitely becomes a nonworking and paid public holiday
- To educate this population
- To help organise other objects of similar structure, by all legal means
