Maurice Satineau

Maurice Satineau (born 18 September 1891 in Baie Mahault, Guadeloupe; died 13 September 1960 in Paris, France) was a politician from Guadeloupe who served in the Senate from 1948 to 1958 and the French Chamber of Deputies from 1936 to 1942 (the Chamber was not summoned between 1940 and 1942) .

In 1928 he founded the journal ''La Dépêche Africaine'', a globally popular magazine of the Comité de défense de la race noire, an early French black civil rights organisation. The journal was temporarily important for the early Négritude movement, but in general pro-colonial and assimilative. In 1956, the journal ceased publication. Provided by Wikipedia
