00:00The main connection is the sea.
00:16The mystery of the sea is always the same story.
00:22The sea is the most significant witness of everything that happened here.
00:30The sea is the most significant witness of the sea.
00:37More than 4800 navires went to Africa, then to the Americas, in the colonies,
00:43transporting the human cargoes of the slaves.
00:50So Nantes has enriched this commerce.
00:52The sense of this monument, and of the other monuments,
00:58is to indicate that the affair is not finished, that the affair is not closed.
01:02And I wonder, sometimes, when will it stop?
01:07It's not that we wanted to hear it.
01:09It was not an honor for us, we wanted to forget it.
01:12It's the total silence.
01:15The one who enters here is traversed by this place.
01:17It's like if they had left their own lives here.
01:20And we feel that there are still men who demand reparations.
01:27And the essence of the existence of this home of the slaves,
01:30is to remind the world the fragility of freedom.
01:33Being black French is a problematic category in France,
01:46because one is either French or one is not.
01:49It's also that being black.
01:51It's also that being black.
01:52It's being a suspect.
01:53It's being a suspect of not being human.
01:54To not even count as human beings.
01:58Thank you for your love.
01:59Thank you for your love.
02:00Thank you for your patience.
02:01Thank you for everything, Seigneur.
02:02We really come to you with your heart recognition.
02:05There is a whole part of society that remains invisible.
02:08The revolution of Saint Domingue, Daïk,
02:10shows clearly that the slaves have first posed the question of the abolition, historically.
02:16We forget the place of the women in it.
02:19We are, before all, a people of survivors and survivors,
02:22but also a people of combatants and combatants.
02:24Women, for example, have a lot of beaten up for their children to school.
02:27These are the artists who can make visible what we're talking about.
02:35It's a homage to the women of my family.
02:46The nurses who've survived the children in chemistry...
02:48...
02:58...
03:04We're certainly a효ful of injustices.
03:06But there will be a victory.
03:08Today, what I'monnajourd'hui, what is the most devastated thing is
03:11...
03:13...
03:14To have managed to create the beauty of these places that have been horrible places,
03:22that is really for me the victory of humanity.
03:25The freedom must be ours, it is the freedom to build a world that we resemble and that we gather.
03:30We must have faith.
03:32That's it, we live together in the field of love and peace.
03:44When we look at the past, we see something that allume the future and the hope.
04:08We have to dream. Humanity calls us to dream.
04:12And together, we'll be reunited.
