The Names They Cut
A hidden register.
A column of names removed by blade.
A truth powerful enough to make governments, museums, and families afraid.
Saint-Louis, 1960.
As independence arrives, a colonial clerk finds a record that should have been destroyed.
Decades later, archivist Awa Sarr opens the file again.
Some records were never meant to be found.
Some names were never meant to survive.
