France Salvery

FILE - Protesters chant anti-France slogans while France's President Francois Hollande delivers a speech outside the National Palace in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Two years ago, leaders of more than a dozen Caribbean countries launched an effort to seek compensation from France, Britain and the Netherlands for what they say is the lingering legacy of the Atlantic slave trade. Several hundred documents and items revealing the names and other details of victims of slavery in France's colonial empire is being added to UNESCO's Memory of the World register.
