Event

has description | a une description
In 1974, as part of the renovation of the Savane, the war memorial and the statue of Josephine were moved. Joséphine was moved from the center of the park to its north-western edge, parallel to Rue de la Liberté. The relocation of Joséphine was an integral part of an urban grammar that Aimé Césaire (then mayor of Fort-de-France) and his city council had put in place to cannibalize colonial sites and symbols of power in the capital.
