Stele in homage to Solitude in Bagneux

A statue in honor of Solitude was inaugurated on the 10th of May 2007 in Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine (twin city of Grand Bourg, Marie-Galante Island, Guadeloupe). Solitude was a Guadeloupian mulatta who joined the commander Delgrès and other maroons in 1802, when Napoleon re-established slavery. She was eventually executed the day after she gave birth. The statue of Solitude is the initiative of Jean-Claude Félix-Tchicaya, deputy mayor in charge of the youth, founding member of the “Devoirs de mémoires” collective. The statue is made of African wood and metal is was made by the sculptor Nicolas Alquin.
