#HaitianIndependenceDAY

[whatssheonaboutpodcast]

On January 1, 1804, Haitians declared independence from French colonial rule. Soup joumou is something that only the rich and colonizers were allowed.

*Fun Fact: Because of Haiti’s new found freedom and France’s need for money, France and the United States negotiated the Louisiana purchase for $15 Million Dollars which nearly doubled the area of the United States at that time. #History #BlackHistory #KnowYourHistory #Haiti #1804 #Independence #HaitianIndependence #HaitianIndependenceDay #FirstBlackRepublic https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4EcvNAUMT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #HaitianIndependenceDay!

Today is not only the first day of the new year, it is also the 220th anniversary of Haiti's independence. As we kick off 2024, we honor Haiti as the first Black independent republic in the world and as a catalyst for freedom for the entire African Diaspora.

In the spirit of revolution and Black freedom, we are using this significant moment in history to kick off this year with intention. CCCADI will honor Haiti's legacy by anchoring much of our 2024 programming in our theme, Lakay se Lakay, which means Home is Home in Kreyòl (Creole).

Lakay se Lakay offers us an opportunity to use Haiti as a lens through which we pay homage to our people's ability to create and hold on to home, wherever we are.

Stay tuned for more information about our Lakay se Lakay themed programs.

#Repost @knowyourcaribbean with @use.repost ・・・ On Jan 1st, Haiti became the first free Black republic in the world, the first independent state in the Caribbean and the second independent state in the Western Hemisphere after the United States. The country where the ultimate dream - to end slavery- was achieved by the very people enslaved themselves. They did it. Everyone loved D’Jango Unchained because it allowed us to delve into our inner most fantasies of inflicting retribution on dutty, greasy slave masters. Every lash @iamjamiefoxx character inflicted made our wildest dreams come true via the big screen. D’Jango may be a fictional character but the Haitian Revolution is real, and heroes like Toussaint L’Ouverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines said and did some gangsta shit. What they did was so gangsta that Europe and the USA made sure Haiti paid heavily for demanding to no longer be enslaved. How dare these negroes they said. Nothing but a ‘hoard of ferocious bandits” and led by “Barbarous Chieftains’ who had the audacity. Europe and the USA ensured that the first free black nation would go from the wealthiest nation in the west to the poorest - because Haiti was just too Gangsta. #KnowYourCaribbean #chroniclesofthecaribbeanbadman #haiti #toussaintlouverture #koupetetboulekay #jeanjacquesdessalines #ayiti #haitianrevolution #haitianindependenceday #panafrican https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5113isBtE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy New Year AND Haitian Independence Day! “This past year has been a wake up call for so many in the US in regards to racial issues. This has also driven a noticeable amount of new followers on my page (thank you profoundly and also please remain focused on issues that my art itself will never cover entirely). In that light, I invite you to take a minute to learn/commemorate a history of victory that is too often silenced.” “Haiti led the first successful slave rebellion in the world against the French (Napoléon Bonaparte’s army!), making that nation question hard their motto of ‘Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité’.” “Haïti won and proclaimed independence on January 1st of 1804.” “[Side note of admiration: Can we please kneel down to the fact that, of all the names Africans on the island could have given to the country, they decided to pay hommage to the Tainos (who had been massacred by the Spanish) by changing “Saint-Domingue” back to the native “Haiti”?]” “Ever since its independence, Haiti has suffered from what in my opinion has been one of the most illustrative forms of prolonged/historical/global systemic racism.” “I was born and raised in Haiti and a lot of my art is inspired either by lived experiences there, historical/literary stories from Haiti and my navigating the US as a Haitian ‘immigrant’.” “I thought I would share this little bit of history with you through my own words and invite you to learn about what is becoming a more researched part of world history.” “Words to type into your search engine: 
The Haitian Revolution. Hope you enjoy and Happy New Year again! 🇭🇹” #SupportBlackArt #jolivert

On Jan. 1, 1804, #Haiti became a free republic after a revolution that began in 1791, declaring independence for all people from colonial rule and enslavement.

#FrederickDouglass, who served as U.S. minister to Haiti (1889-91) until he resigned in protest, gave a lecture on the history of Haiti and the U.S. treatment of Haiti that is as relevant and informative today as it was when he gave it on Jan. 2, 1893. He begins, "My subject is Haiti, the #BlackRepublic; the only self-made Black Republic in the world. I am to speak to you of her character, her history, her importance and her struggle from slavery to freedom and to statehood. I am to speak to you of her progress in the line of civilization; of her relation with the United States; of her past and present; of her probable destiny; and of the bearing of her example as a free and independent Republic, upon what may be the destiny of the African race in our own country and elsewhere...

Until she [Haiti] spoke no Christian nation had abolished negro slavery. Until she spoke no christian nation had given to the world an organized effort to #abolishslavery. Until she spoke the slave ship, followed by hungry sharks, greedy to devour the dead and dying slaves flung overboard to feed them, plouged in peace the South Atlantic painting the sea with the Negro’s blood. Until she spoke, the slave trade was sanctioned by all the Christian nations of the world, and our land of liberty and light included. Men made fortunes by this infernal traffic, and were esteemed as good Christians, and the standing types and representations of the Saviour of the World. Until Haiti spoke, the church was silent, and the pulpit was dumb. Slavetraders lived and slave-traders died. Funeral sermons were preached over them, and of them it was said that they died in the triumphs of the christian faith and went to heaven among the just." -

When we learned of the story of Soup Joumou it brought so much delight to our lives. Not only because we grew up eating this soup daily and without realizing the story behind it but we are so enchanted with the idea of our forebears after fighting for their lives and independence thinking of ways to solidify their sovereignty. Taking a soup that the French considered only permissible for the elites to consume and not allowed for enslaved Africans to eat, it brings me joy with every mouthful to remember a group of “illiterate, primitive, savage” people rose up and decimated one of the largest Europeans forces of it’s time. And then supported the Dominican Republic to overthrow Spain twice, and went on to support other latin nations. Our hearts fill with joy to know in our blood runs the passion and dedication to fight for liberation. Our liberation doesn’t look like what we battled in the 1700’s and yet we still are fighting to decolonize, dismantle and disrupt the system that laid the ground work for this racialized framework of subjugation we currently live in. So as we sit, meditate and give thanks to our ancestors knowing they fortify us to unravel what has been created. We eat, we bring forth love and we honor our people who loved us above their own lives. When we eat Soup Joumou we are remembering the power we carry within ourselves and in community. Ayibobo!!
