Would you be surprised to know that Haiti was once the
richest colony in the entire world? Or that Haiti is the first black republic?
Or the Haitian revolution is the only successful slave revolt in the history of
the world? There is more to Haiti than just tragedy, and more to the island
than what is seen on the news. Explore and discover with me Haiti, a country
steeped in traditions and far from accomplishing its potential. Take this
journey of discovery and re-discovery of Haiti through its history, its people,
music and customs. Enjoy.
My father is from the neighboring Dominican Republic and I can say first hand that there are plenty of misconceptions about Haiti and its people. It is incredible how much is still unknown among people from two countries that share the same island!
