The Greatness and the richness of Haitian history is one that never ceases to amaze those who come to its discovery.
Over the 200 years of its independence, Haiti has not only been a great cultural influencer, but it has blessed us with many humanitarian exploits.
Besides creating a culture where Family values proved to be ideal for the proper development of the human being (see: Haitian Constitution of 1805 articles #9-10 and constitution of 1807 articles #46-47-48), One of Haiti's greatest achievements remains its relentless fight against the obscurities of slavery.
This fight which resulted in the abolishment of slavery accounts for much of Haiti's suffering today.
Unfortunately, many of the truths concerning Haiti, which still pose a threat to a powerful minority, are today unknown to most....Even the Haitian population.
"Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner and champion of liberty at the same time, warned that Haiti had created a bad example and argued it was necessary to "confine the plague to the island." His country( the U.S.) heeded him." The progressive magazine, June 2004
Today when Haiti is mentioned, it is often hard to associate it with anything positive since the media continues to bombard it with the negativity that is convenient to blinding the world from the true cause behind Haiti.
"If you are going to tell a lie, don't tell a little one, because it will be recognized as a lie. Tell the biggest and most unlikely lie you can think of, keep on telling it and the people will think it must be the truth and believe it."
"The propaganda must always and exclusively be directed toward the masses.
The teachability of the great masses is very limited, their understanding small, and their memory short."
"Adolf Hitler"
