Panthéon: Plaques in homage to Toussaint Louverture, Louis Delgrès and Aimé Césaire

Plaques paying tribute to Toussaint Louverture, the freed slave who fought for the independence of Haiti, and Louis Delgrès, who rebelled against the restoration of slavery in 1802, have been installed in the Pantheon in Paris. In April 2011, Aimé Césaire, poet, playwright and politician from Martinique, was also honoured with a plaque at the Pantheon, two years after his death.
