Haiti celebrates its 210th anniversary of independence today. “Perhaps we Haitians should tell the whole world that being the FIRST [INDEPENDENT] BLACK NATION is no walk in the park and we have the scars to prove it.” (Woodring Saint Preux) Haiti, the only nation born of a slave revolt, could have been a prosperous country but was impoverished by a crippling, decades-long embargo imposed by Europe and the U.S. after former slaves overthrew the country’s European ruling elites. L'union Fait La Force. “210 years after we took our independence, let’s continue the fight to put our country on the road to development.” #Ayiti #Haiti #LunionFaitLaForce #UnityMakesStrength #1804 #AyitiCherie #HaitiMyBeloved
