Bust of Charles de Gaulle, Le Morne Rouge.
Maroon Memorial, Sainte-Anne
The memorial features the wall of a mill, a symbol of the oppressive plantation system, from which emerges a Marron with his leg and ears cut off as a sign of attempted resistance and escape, and on which several symbols of slavery and marronnage are displayed: chains referring to deprivation of freedom; two Chaltounés, torches, used for nocturnal travel; a lambi conch shell, which enabled communication with other slaves; a Ka, drum, which accompanied slaves in their songs and enabled them to perpetuate African music and was a decisive means of communication.
