The House of Negritude and Human Rights is a history museum located in Champagney, in Haute-Saône. Founded under the patronage of Léopold Senghor, former president of the Republic of Senegal, it is organized around Article 29 of the Champagney cahier de doléances, in which the village inhabitants demanded the abolition of the enslavement of Black people on March 19, 1789. The museum evokes the historical context of this text, the history of slavery as well as its contemporary forms, enriching its presentation with African and Haitian objects illustrating negritude. The collections notably include the reproduction of a slave ship. The site also functions as a place of memory and offers educational resources intended for family or school group visits.
