“By creating a society in which all people, of all colors, were granted
freedom and citizenship, the Haitian Revolution forever transformed the
world. It was a central part of the destruction of slavery in the
Americas, and therefore a crucial moment in the history of democracy,
one that laid the foundation for the continuing struggles for human
rights everywhere. In this sense we are all descendents of the Haitain
Revolution, and responsible to these ancestors.”
