Haitian lore holds that the newly appointed revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines created the flag by taking a French tricolor and ripping out the white center, which he discarded. He then asked Catherine Flon, his god-daughter, to sew the remaining bands together. The white pale removed, the blue was taken to represent Haiti's black citizens and the red the gens de couleur. The story is widely known in Haiti: the anniversary of the date is celebrated as the Haitian Flag Day and images of Catherine Flon have appeared on Haitian currency and stamps. #Flag of #Haiti http://famouswonders.com/flag-of-haiti #HAÏTI☆#LEGENDS #HAITIANFLAGDAY2016 #flagofHaiti #HaitiansallovertheWorld #JacquesDessalines #CatherineFlon #HaitianDiaspora #strengthInUnity #lunionfaitlaforce #bonnefetedudrapeau
