The sculpture is nice but I didn't get a close look at it because my driver wouldn't let me out of the car... he said it was too dangerous for me to step out and take a picture.

Lieu historique faisant ressortir l’histoire du Marron Inconnu dit en créole « nèg mawon » située devant la cour de cassation. Ce statut symbolise beaucoup pour les Haïtiens. #Googlemaps #Localguide #Letsguide

The Marron inconu of Santo Domingo, "The Unknown Slave", also called The Brown Negro or Neg Mawon (Haitian) Creole pronunciation: nɛɡ ma.ʁɔ], "Maroon Man"), [5 is a bronze statue of a slave runner commemorating the abolition of slavery and is in the capital of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Designed by Haitian sculptor and architect Albert Mangones (1917-2002) and completed on 22 September 1967, the sculpture serves a reminder of the call to rebellion in the colony of Santo Domingo against the slave-holding France in 1791. It has become the nation's iconic symbol of freedom 1 and is viewed in the world as a symbol for the freedom of...

La statue du Marron inconnu qui se trouve au Champ de Mars en Haiti a été construite par l’architecte haïtien Albert Mangonès. Il a été construit entre 1967 et 1968 sous l’ordre du cruel et criminel dictateur François Duvalier, selon l’Institut de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine national (ISPAN). Le 7 février 1986, une foule évaluée à environ 500 000 personnes gagne les rues de la capitale pour célébrer la chute de la dictature. Elle s’en prend également aux différents symboles associés au régime, dont le Marron inconnu. Dans la foulée, une partie de la machette en bronze se trouvant dans la main droite du marron, est enlevée. Les manifestants ont aussi éteint la flamme éternelle qui se situe en face de la statue. En 1989, les Nations Unies ont fait choix du monument pour illustrer l’article IV de la Déclaration universelle des Droits de l’Homme relatif à l’interdiction de l’esclavage sous quelque forme que ce soit.La statue du Marron inconnu serait la consécration du phénomène historique du marronnage qui constitue l’une des formes de lutte menées par les « esclaves » de Saint-Domingue pour se libérer du joug colonial. Animés par un idéal de liberté, les captifs fuient les plantations pour s’installer dans des zones difficiles d’accès et y vivre de manière autonome. Ainsi, ils vont être les premiers à lancer l’insurrection populaire de 1791 qui allait accoucher la révolution de 1804. Dès 1740-1750, des figures emblématiques de marrons comme Makandal caressent l’idée de détruire les plantations et d’assassiner les colons. D’autres vont assurer la continuité de cette forme de résistance face au système esclavagiste pendant toute la période...

Construction of the statue was completed on 22 September 1967 by Albert Mangonès. It measures at 3.60 metres long by 2.40 metres high. The bust depicts a bronze near-naked fugitive, kneeling on one knee, torso arched, opposite leg stretched back, a broken chain at its left ankle, while holding a conch shell at its lips with its left hand, head tilted upward, while the other hand holds a machete at the ground to...
