Teaching Haitian Culture and History to Empower All Students
The Haitian Revolution seems to be a forgotten piece in History and should be taught adequately in classrooms as it played a pivotal role in the development of the free world. Haitian History is Black History as Black History is American History, of course. Haiti is considered to be the poorest country in the western hemisphere; however, its rich history and culture can empower all young learners and strengthen their sense of global community.
