The Haitian Revolution was a slave revolt in the French colony of Saint-Domingue that lasted from 1791 until 1804.
“The silencing of the Haitian Revolution is only a chapter within a narrative of global domination. It is part of the history of the West and it is likely to persist, even in attenuated form, as long as the history of the West is not retold in ways that bring forward the perspective of the world.” ~Michel-Rolph Trouillot
