    As the perspicacious Pierre Berton once said‚ “Racism is a refuge for the ignorant. It seeks to divide and to destroy. It is the enemy of freedom‚ and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out.” Joanne Hyppolite‚ the author of the story “Dyaspora‚” faces racism first-hand as she grows up Haitian American.
