Monument Victor Schœlcher, Schœlcher The statue, created by Martinican sculptor Marie-Thérèse Lung Fou (1909-1981), depicts abolitionist Victor Schœlcher standing in full regalia. The refined, sober work of art deco inspiration honors the memory of the abolitionist politician with dignity. The artist breaks with the paternalistic, colonial vision of older monuments, notably those in Fort-de-France and Cayenne. A plaque on the pedestal recalls the decree of the Provisional Government of March 4, 1848: “No French land shall bear slaves any longer. Victor Schœlcher 1804-1893”. -
