This analysis examines the legacy of American slavery through the figure of Sartdji, highlighting the dynamics of memory and resilience that shape contemporary struggles for social justice. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the study draws on the concepts of collective memory, cultural resilience, and post-colonial struggles to explore how the legacy of slavery continues to impact modern societies. First, the analysis traces the foundations of the American slavery system and the forms of silent resistance, embodied by figures like Sartdji, who defy structures of dehumanization. Next, the research explores the erasure of this heroine from dominant history and the need to rehabilitate her memory within the current struggles for equality and reconciliation. Finally, the study shows that Sartdji represents a living and dynamic memory, used as a tool of resistance in contemporary struggles for social justice. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of reintegrating these forgotten memories into the historical narrative to promote genuine reconciliation and social transformation. Future perspectives suggest a deeper exploration of reconciliation processes and invisible forms of resistance, which are essential to understanding contemporary issues related to racial and social inequalities.
