The place of the history of slavery in school curricula

Since the Taubira Law recognizing slavery as a crime against humanity, the history of the slave trade has taken more place in school curricula. But this work of memory is done at the discretion of the teachers. Example in Vitry sur Seine, in the Val de Marne, in the Collège Jean Perrin where teaching this theme during the French colonial period is optional, but attracts students, because based on educational materials based on videos, comics. Comment on illustration images, interview with Kamel CHABANE, professor of history who teaches him, Rémi LUNET, principal of the Jean Perrin college on the problems encountered in the Board of Directors, Frédéric LAZORTHES, Secretary General Committee for the memory and history of slavery: "these questions are no longer a taboo for teachers and for the school"and testimonies of students for their interest in this theme.
