Hi, Maybe I am wrong.

But it seems to me during black history the american media and organizations only praise black americans.

In that regard, I want to say before there were Frederic Douglass, Medgar Evers, Harriet Tubman, W.E.B Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Dr. ML King, George Carver, Booker T. Washington..etc....there were Toussaint Louverture, Boisrond Tonnerre, Henry Christophe, Lamour Derance, Jean-Baptiste Sans Souci, Marie Jeanne, Sanite Belair, Alexandre Petion, Magny Lamartiniere, Makandal, Chareron, Jean Francois Biassou, Papillon, Capois LaMort...and all the other haitian black jacobins.

Viva Africa's eldest daugther.

All concerned Haitian needs to come together to make our ancestral heros household names.

TITUS, you are not wrong. This is a reality. This is a month to celebrate only black Americans, who in my opinion, are not aware of other blacks around the world who gave their life fighting for every black. What surprises me is the fact that Black A > >

This is America, and African Americans are from North America not the Caribbean or the continent of Africa. A lot of Haitians do not even know how to read or write let alone their history. Does the average Haitian know US history or African American > >

You need a reality check. You are sick. Know world's story before saying anything. Idiot. So African Americans are not from Africa? They are not from Caribbean? Where did Jean-Baptiste Point Du Sable come from? Where is Pierre Toussaint, the first Am > >

THE BLOG SHE HAS POSTED MADE COMPLETE SENSE. THE VALIDITY OF WHAT SHE POSTS ARE REAL AS WELL AS TRUE. BEFORE THERE WERE ANY STRUGGLE FOR SLAVE REVOLT IN "NORTH AMERICA" AS YOU PUT IT, THERE WERE THE BEACON AND INSPIRATION PIONEERS IN HAITI. THE > >

I don't remember anyone disputed what FD said in his poem. Some Bloggers may have other issues with you, but not about the poem, nor anyone dowmplay Haiti's role in the fight for freedom. The problem with you I think, is that you hot tempered sometim > >

Yeah I know. All it requires is for people to do just a little bit of research before posting something. Even if they have to google the topic itself would be rationalized and logical. However, the fact that they do not even have any kind of k > >

The only thing Haitians and African-Americans have in commun is the African ancestor. The culture itself and the roads travelled to their eventual freedom and civil rights are totally different from one another. Some Haitians like to invoke the past. > >
