Throngs of people arrived at 1 p.m. for the 7 p.m. ceremony, ushered into the church by young adults clad in white blouses and black skirts. The faithful pushed against the new church’s glass doors hoping for a seat, and crowded along windows for a peek inside. When the 1,200 ticketed parishioners and guests filled their new worship space and its 166-seat chapel, the overflow crowded into the old, 700-seat worship space and filled the outside lawn.

  • Landscapes of Development
    Jack Devine Landscapes of Development: The Haitian Peasantry and the Historical Evolution of Haiti’s Landscape Advisor: Dr. Judith Schachter 2015-2016 Student Year Acknowledgements: Special thanks to my advisor, Judith Schachter, who consistently guided me through difficult questions and helped me grow as a writer and a thinker throughout the year. Also thanks to Ross Bernet, Ian and Lucy Rawson, Wendy Montinat, Shellon Mondesir, and Mathurin Dorceus for introducing me to the beauty and complexities of the Haitian landscape. Introduction: 100 Years of Independence In January of 1904, Haiti celebrated its one hundredth year of independence. This was truly a remarkable occasion – land that was once prized by European powers as the pinnacle of plantation slave colonies had been made into a sovereign state by a slave army, just a few years after America won independence from Britain. Haiti was the result of a unique slave revolution and it was the world‟s first black republic. Haitian President Nord Alexis marked the anniversary by commissioning a new national anthem; La Dessalinienne, named after ex-slave General Jean-Jacques Dessalines, reminds Haitians to always remember their history and, above all, to remain united as a people. Not all Haitians held such positive views of their country‟s fledgling century. Among those who had been disillusioned by one hundred years of independent Haiti was Dr. Rosalvo Bobo, who would go on to lead the Caco rebellion a decade later that prompted American military intervention. In a centennial address given in late 1903, Bobo pushed existential questions about centennial celebrations: “Centennial of our freedom? No.

  • Abstract the Epic of 1804: Based Upon And
    ABSTRACT THE EPIC OF 1804: BASED UPON AND INCORPORATING AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF MAURICE A. SIXTO’S J’AI VENGE LA RACE Myriam Souffrant, M.A. Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Northern Illinois University, 2017 Matthew Smith, Director This thesis is a play written in English based upon the French audio recording entitled J’ai vengé la race by Maurice A. Sixto, famed Haitian story teller, comedian, diplomat and language professor (1919-1984). Mr. Sixto is regarded in Haitian literature as an oratory genius for his uncanny ability to analyze every segment of Haitian society using a rich and prolific narrative. With humor, wisdom, and a deft understanding of Haitian societal norms, he used his iconic voice to create authentic characters that have become part of the Haitian cultural fabric. His stories exposed the ills plaguing 20th century Haitian society; everything from the psychological remnants of slavery, to class differentiation and discrimination and beyond. As it is written, the play is in keeping with the Haitian literary tradition of a narrative within a narrative style of storytelling that Sixto uses in J’ai vengé la race. The play also does not support a fixed chronological canon, leaving its conclusion without closure and open to speculation. Thematically, the play is polymorphous, its themes ranging from the supernatural, to historical criticism, to personal testimony, to mysticism, to sex.

  • La Bandera Y El Himno Nacional Como Símbolos De Identidad En El Continente Americano", México, Senado De La República, 2 De Julio De 2018
    LA BANDERA Y EL HIMNO NACIONAL COMO SÍMBOLOS DE IDENTIDAD EN EL CONTINENTE AMERICANO 2 DE JULIO DE 2018 NOTA INFORMATIVA Fuente: Elaboración propia ANÁLISIS E INVESTIGACIÓN A través del tiempo se ha recurrido a símbolos que ayuden a identificar a los individuos como miembros de una sociedad. El medio más usual para adoptar una identidad durante el transcurso de la historia ha sido mediante el establecimiento de algún emblema idiosincrático (estandarte, escudo, bandera, entre otros) que agrupe los principales elementos asociados a la conformación del Estado (historia, tradiciones, costumbres, lenguas, leyes, gobierno, etcétera). El continente americano ha vivido una singular historia de conquistas, colonias y posteriores independencias y la construcción de estados independientes en entornos complejos por lo que la presente Nota Informativa presenta una compilación de las banderas e himnos nacionales del continente como símbolos de identidad; analizando su significado y el contexto en el que fueron establecidos. The flag and national anthem’s as symbols of identity in the American continent Through time, symbols have been used to help identify individuals as members of a society. The most common way to adopt an identity during the course of history has been through the establishment of some idiosyncratic emblem (banner, coat of arms, flag, among others) that assembles the main elements associated with the conformation of a State (history, traditions, customs, languages, laws, government, etc.). The American continent has lived a singular history of conquests, colonies and subsequent independence, and the construction of independent states in complex environments, therefore, this Note presents a compilation of the flags and national anthems of the continent as symbols of identity; analyzing their meaning and the context in which they were established.
