How Do I Know?

How and what do I know about Haiti? Actually, I've been in Haiti at least 25 times, I speak Haitian Creole well enough to get around without an interpreter, and I'm a student of the culture, Haitian history, the language, and the people. In the days ahead I'll add more photos and more information about Haiti, the enigmatic culture of survival. Just for the moment, remember this .. the culture and psyche of Haiti developed out of a 100 years of slavery, and then from being isolated from the modern world because that world could not accept that a nation of slaves overthrew the three largest armies in the world (French, English and Spanish)!
