The Haitian government had nothing short of a vendetta against all reporters and journalists. Because of this Lelenne had to go into hiding where she was almost discovered multiple times. At one point she even had to leave the country for about three months…

different cultures outside of my own, but I have noticed that there is a culture that seems to be most dominant on this campus so much so that everyone wants to associate themselves with is group. Haitian culture on this campus is highly demonstrated. When in all reality most students know very little about Haitian culture. The history, norms, family, educational and judicial systems, government, or religion. Christopher Columbus discovered the island of Hispaniola in 1492. By 1550 the Taino…

Introduction: The documents, People’s Charter, Haitian Declaration of independence, and Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen all were in place to provide a certain level of protection to their respective citizens. Although, these documents seem to be formed because of a revolution from below, it is also quite evident that they are calling for a change, a revolution. During the time of their origin, it is evident that the nations were industrializing, hence the colonization, and…

In 1915, after the assassination of Haitian President Vibrun Guillaume Sam, who ordered the killings of 167 political prisoners, the United States began a 19 year occupation in Haiti to protect US business. Before the US occupation, Haiti had been subjected to the foreign rule of the Spanish, and then later the French. The Spanish believed they were not gaining from the relationship, and the country was passed over to the French as if it were a baton in a relay race as opposed to an Island that…

Another method that was used by Martin Luther King jr. to resist social oppression in Birmingham Alabama is the nonviolent direct –action program which involve four steps, collection of facts to determine whether injustices are alive, negation, self-purification, and direct action. This is what King said about the effectiveness of his program in his Letter from Birmingham jail, “nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such a creative tension that a community that has…

The Haitian immigrants in the United states have enjoyed their stay here, but sadly all good things come to an end at some point. The Haitians have been safeguarded by the Temporary Protection Status (TPS). This protection status will cease on July 20th, 2019. The U.S has to make a decision, on what to do with the Haitians after their TPS expires. A solution I propose to this problem is that United States should should distribute the Haitians to the Caribbean countries, that are allies to the…

reasons for these conflicts, but occasionally several will have the same universal cause. The belief that one group is superior over another has been one of these universal causes of conflict in society. The British women’s suffrage movement, the Haitian revolution, and the French revolution are all examples of this cause of conflict: Superiority by gender, race, and class. In the mid 19th century, British women began fighting for their right to vote. Over the course of about 60 years, British…

voiceless, a pillar of Justice, and the irrefutable defender of my constituents; and when I received notice of the “No Haitians” need apply ad in the RockLand County’s Penny Saver I was disgusted and outraged. I am not only a State Representative, I am Haitian, a nurse of 30 plus years with a license in Florida , and I represent District 108, which happens to be the largest Haitian populated districts in Miami Dade County, so for me this is personal. I cannot fathom that in the 21st Century…

modern authors of the Haitian revolution such as C.L.R. James and Alejo Carpentier have remarked on the role of anti-black racism in the perpetuation of the slave institution. While the validity of William 's claim may be difficult to prove, it is undeniable after analyzing the works of these authors that racism and slavey are closely intertwined with one another in the scope of the Haitian revolution. Both historical…

struck the Island of Saint Domingue when the Haitian Slaves revolted against the powerful French empire led by Napoleon. Napoleon, the ruler of France at the time, decided he wanted to take control of the Louisiana purchase and in order to do this, he had to take control of the western indies’ economic sector, Saint Domingue or modern day Haiti. In the beginning, the French invaded Saint Domingue and Toussaint Louverture, an early leader of the Haitians, fought against them for three months…
