The statue of French statesman Jean-Baptiste Colbert is pictured in front of the French National Assembly in Paris Wednesday June 10, 2020. Colbert has been a prominent minister under King Louis XIV, with the key position of controller-general of Finances from 1665 until his death in 1683. Colbert drafted the Code Noir ("Black Code") which was promulgated two years after his death to regulate the conditions of slavery in French overseas colonies. Some activists combating racism have called last week on taking down the statue of Jean-Baptiste Colbert. (AP Photo/Francois Mori)
