History of the Haitian Flag 🇭🇹🇭🇹 —————— The first purely Haitian flag was adopted on 18 May 1803, on the last day of the Congress of Arcahaie, 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. . . After the overthrow of Emperor Faustin-Élie Soulouque in 1859, Haiti remained under the blue-red flag until Franc̦ois (“Papa Doc”) Duvalier came to power. He spoke of a “black revolution” for the nation and in 1964 altered the national flag to the black-red vertical stripes that had been used by Faustin-Élie, King Henry I, and Emperor Jacques I. Duvalier was succeeded by his son, Jean-Claude (“Baby Doc”), but the latter was forced to flee the country in 1986. As of February 25 of that year the old blue-red flag was reestablished. . . The coat of arms of Haiti was originally introduced in 1807, and has appeared in its current form since 1986. The coat of arms consists of a palm tree surmounted by a liberty cap and flanked by flags, rifles, hatchets, cannon, anchors, masts. The motto “L’Union fait la force” (“Union makes strength”) is also included. . . . The name Haiti (or Hayti) comes from the indigenous Taíno language which was the native name given to the entire island of Hispaniola to mean, "land of high mountains." ————- #haitianflag #haitianheritagemonth #haitianhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CPAtNKagsGB/?utm_medium=tumblr
