215 Years of Haitian Independence
This date will always be meaningful as Haiti’s Independence Day. It was the island first colonized by Columbus, and of the lands of North America, it was the first to free itself from slavery – and has been made to pay for it ever since.
To all my Haitian friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and community, Joyeux Jour de ‘An et de l’Indépendance.
