Indeed, in\u00a0<strong>1791<\/strong>,\u00a0the slaves of Saint-Domingue began their own uprising. Through they originally fought to free themselves form their masters and still held emotional ties to France, with the Leclerc expedition of 1802, the capture of the black leader Toussaint-Louverture and his subsequent death in prison, the slave revolt soon became a complete Revolution to overthrow the colonial order. Although the proclamation of Haitian independence is still regarded as\u00a0trivial\u00a0by many today, in 1804, the people of Haiti\u00a0accomplished what was unconceivable in an 18th and 19th century landscape. On this date,\u00a0<strong>210 years ago<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Haiti became the first country in the modern world to be born out of a successful slave rebellion,<\/strong>\u00a0the first modern \u201cblack\u201d republic, the second independent state of the Americas (after the United States) and the first in the Caribbean and Latin American region. To that list must be added that\u00a0<strong>Haiti was the first country to founded on of three core principals<\/strong>: it was anti-colonial, anti-slavery and egalitarian. Indeed, independent Haiti<strong>guaranteed citizenship to all its inhabitants<\/strong>, regardless of color, class or property. Furthermore, Haiti was among the first states to equip itself with a<strong>\u00a0constitution<\/strong>\u00a0(constitutionalism as a written process being a new development at the time).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">* That these facts about the Revolution remain largely unknown to a larger public speaks very well of the silencing of the Haitian Revolution in academia and popular culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">(via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/one-who-yawns.tumblr.com\/post\/71871116044\/fyeahhaitianhistory-today-in-history-the\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">one-who-yawns<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&gt;via:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/knowledgeequalsblackpower.tumblr.com\/post\/71871614952\/fyeahhaitianhistory-today-in-history-the\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/knowledgeequalsblackpower.tumblr.com\/post\/71871614952\/fyeahhaitianhistory-today-in-history-the<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: large;\"><strong>__________________________<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kalamu.com\/neogriot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/bayyinah.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176430236\" alt=\"bayyinah\" src=\"http:\/\/kalamu.com\/neogriot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/bayyinah.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kalamu.com\/neogriot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/bayyinah.jpg 320w, https:\/\/kalamu.com\/neogriot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/bayyinah-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: xx-large;\"><strong>Haitian History <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: xx-large;\"><strong>with Professor Bayyinah Bello<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"922\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XRX6QbqWcgk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">A fascinating interview with leading Haitian historian Professor Bayyinah Bello (State University of Haiti) you will learn about the birth of the First Black Republic in the West as she reflects on the 200th anniversary of the Haitian Revolution and its legacy.
