The Haitian struggle for freedom and the history of the first Black Republic makes Haiti (or more correctly Ayiti) one of the key destinations to learn about during Black History month ! Today, Haiti is one of the richest countries from a historical and cultural point of view, but we seem to focus on the negatives.
