McLane-Iles, professor of French, presented a paper entitled “French Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira’s 2001 ‘Loi Taubira’ on Slave Reparations legislation: Purpose and consequence” June 14 at the French Colonial Historical Society 2013 Conference, which took place at both the Louisbourg Fortress of Cape Breton Island and at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia.
