    The original name of the island prior to Spanish colonization was “Ayti”,the name was given to the island by its original inhabitants the Tainos/Kalingo natives. After the revolution they basically gave their half of the island it’s original name back with a slightly different spelling.

    Fun fact: the first Haitian president and a leader in the revolution Henri Christophe as a kid served as a drummer boy in Les Chasseurs Volontaires a unit made of free Haitian blacks that was part of the French forces that fought alongside the Americans in the Siege of Savannah Georgia during the American Revolution. Their service is commemorated by a monument in the city.

    I'm thrown off by how the pot was not on top of a hot stove and cold noodles was added. This is truly not done at all homes. This is for demonstration purposes. Wow to the add of green and yellow bell peppers in the soup. That is different. My family makes the soup with meat, blended squash, scotch bonnet peppers, potatoes, carrots, turnip, celery, cabbage, spaghetti and/or rigatoni. Amazingly simple and satisfying.

    As a Haitian-born American, I get so irate that US history hides how tied black people are to each other.

We are one people and colonization destroyed that knowledge

    Whether we are African, Afro-American, or Latino, we must teach and emphasize to our descendants the impact of the courage and sacrifice that the Haitian people had on the world. They offered asylum and granted citizenship to every enslaved person who managed to escape and reach their shores. Despite being forced to pay France, they did not hesitate to finance and assist all those who were fighting for freedom. They welcomed Simón Bolívar after his first defeat and allowed him to recover and reorganize in Haiti, enabling him to return to South America with strength and win the revolution there. This is why you see the colors red and blue on the flags of some countries in South America. Greece, which was under Turkish domination and seeking to finance its own revolution, asked for financial help. Since Haiti couldn't send money due to its obligation to pay France, they sent tons of coffee instead. Coffee was the black gold of that era, and the resale of coffee allowed them to finance their revolution. Haiti is the true symbol of freedom, and it's a history that the powers of this world don't want you to know."
