mairie de Bordeaux, reprenant en mai 2018 les conclusions d'une commission réunie à son initiative pour uLan travail mémoriel sur l'esclavage, décide de faire réaliser une statue de Modeste Testas par le sculpteur haïtien Woodly Caymitte Filipo. Elle retient comme un symbole fort la figure de cette femme, esclave, déportée à Saint-Domingue puis affranchie, au parcours complexe et attachant, à l'exceptionnelle longévité à cheval sur deux siècles, faisant le lien entre Bordeaux, l’esclavage et Haïti.
La statue en bronze de 1,70 m, réalisée à la Fonderie des Cyclopes, disposée au bord de la Garonne, quai Louis XVIII à Bordeaux, a été inaugurée le 10 mai 2019. En 1870, Modeste Testas décède à l’âge de 105 ans sur les terres en Haïti qu’elle avait reçu de l’héritage de François Testas. De 1888 à 1889, son petit-fils, François Denys Legitime fut président de la République d'Haïti.
