Interesting how the world often treats the French Revolution as the only great symbol of freedom and rights, while the Haitian Revolution is treated like a footnote.

Haiti’s history deserves equal, and maybe greater, reverence.

This is literally my family’s legacy & history and I’m extremely heartbroken 💔
