Jeanne Odo or citizen Andotte was born in Port-au-Prince[1] and was a former slave, an abolitionist of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), and a supercentenarian.
Aged 114, she presented herself to the National Convention in Paris and called for the abolition of slavery.[2][3]
She was enthusiastically received, accompanied by a delegation of Blacks, at the Jacobin Club by the deputies François Louis Bourdon de l'Oise, Chabot, Maximilien de Robespierre, Jeanbon Saint-André, Legendre, Maure, and other members on June 3, 1793. Everyone applauded when Chabot swore solidarity with Black people.[4]
