Haiti beyond the constructed narratives: A story of courage and resilience

January 1, 2024 marks the 220th anniversary of the proclamation of independence of the Republic of Haiti, following a long-armed resistance that culminated in a military victory that ended slavery in Santo Domingo. Indeed, on January 1, 1804, a group of men and women, reduced to slavery, proclaimed loud and clear, to the face of the world, their equal dignity and gave full, complete and universal meaning to the fundamental values of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.

It is with great pride and immense pleasure that the Haitian association in Manitoba “Regroupement des Haïtiens du Manitoba – RDHM” wishes to celebrate this anniversary with you. This year we want the event to be a sharing of diverse experiences to highlight the universal nature of human inspiration for Equality. Several groups including the Société de la Francophonie Manitobaine, representatives of indigenous peoples, our compatriots will speak and share their experiences.
