France moves to repeal yet-to-be-abolished slavery law, Code Noir

French lawmakers are set to vote on Thursday to repeal the Code Noir, a law that regulated slavery in the French colonies which was never formally repealed even after the abolition of slavery in 1848. The vote reopens a debate around reparations in a country that has yet to fully come to terms with its history of colonialism.
