Abolition of Slavery: 191 Years Later, Le Morne Stands Strong

Abolition of Slavery: 191 Years Later, Le Morne Stands Strong

Le Morne once again resonated with memory and reflection yesterday, marking the 191st anniversary of the abolition of slavery. A notable aspect this year: the ceremony took place in the afternoon against the backdrop of the majestic mountain designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, a universal symbol of resistance and freedom.

From the early hours, officials, artists, and community members gathered to honor this significant milestone in history, celebrating the enduring spirit of those who fought for their freedom.
