Description
"If there is a reason to found a national Center around such a subject, that is to say this slavery more particularly, yes this slavery, African, Caribbean, American, trans-Indian, European , while we know that all slaveries are equally monstrous and beyond humanity, perhaps we find it above all in this that it interested most of the known world in the West of the world, that is to say that it established a link of a new tone between countries and cultures, that this link, we wanted to make it unrecognized, that it mixed an incalculable number of beauties in an equally incalculable number of tortures, that it resulted in the creolization of this great part of the world, a creolization as beautiful as its democratization, which had repercussions on a part of our current world and which made us enter it, and that then this Center must be national because that this is the best way to multiply all the approaches and all the international resonances."
