The article titled " 200 Years of Forgetting: Hushing up the Haitian Revolution" by Thomas Reinhardt was eye-opening for me. Throughout my education‚ I have always heard about slaves and the rebellions they pursued to fight inequality; however‚ I was never told that a slave rebellion was successful or revolutionary. All of my teachers in the past seemed neutral on the situation‚ and I thought I was the only one who was proud of the slaves that rebelled in ways they had to obtain freedom. This being

Bonjour. Aujourd’hui je vais expliquer la Révolution Haïtienne et ses complexités. Prior to 1790‚ Haitian society was broken up into 3 groups: the slaves‚ the gens de coleur (or free non-whites)‚ and the whites. The whites were equal in the eyes of the law‚ but they were divided by class. Meanwhile‚ the free non-whites‚ or gens de coleur‚ faced discrimination both in the law and in society. Despite this‚ there was still a wide range of social diversity. Unlike other colonies held by the Spanish

My parents are proud Haitians that believe in their principles‚ religious beliefs‚ and the upbringing of their children. My parents kept us in church 24 hours and 7 days a week.
