"Haitian Revolution: This struggle was an ongoing push for freedom from the shackles of harsh slavery in Haiti. The result of this tireless struggle culminated in an event in 1841 that created the first freed African Nation in the Western Hemisphere. It provided a sense of pride and a belief that freedom from slavery was possible and could only be won by personal, spiritual, psychological, and physical struggles. It had all of the ingredients of determination, planning, against all odds (Napoleon’s French Army), the treachery of victims’ oppressed faith and a sense of loyalty." -Tuskegee Airmen

It adds dimension, depth, and texture to the “experience” at Tuskegee during that important period in our nation’s history." -Tuskegee Airmen
