The Lincoln Academy of Illinois was created to recognize the living histories of those who walk among us believing, as Lincoln did, that those living histories remind future generations of the endless possibilities ahead. We gather to recognize the living histories of our time – individuals who exemplify the highest ideals of their respective callings, whose lives and contributions to society perpetuate the complete spectrum of human endeavor.

  • Trustee Tries to Cancel the Sugar Babies Screening at the University of Miami Page 1 of 2
    Trustee Tries to Cancel The Sugar Babies Screening at the University of Miami Page 1 of 2 Trustee Tries to Cancel The Sugar Babies Screening at the University of Miami MIAMI (November 12, 2009) – Tonight’s screening of The Sugar Babies at the University of Miami will proceed as scheduled despite enormous pressure from a member of the university’s Board of Trustees. One of the board's senior trustees is Alfonso Fanjul, who is also the Chairman and CEO of Flo-Sun, Inc., a sugar company featured in the film for its inhumane labor practices, which include employing children to work sugar cane fields in conditions that can best be described as modern-day slavery. The award-winning, feature-length documentary The Sugar Babies is scheduled to be screened tonight at 7 p.m. as part of the Latin American Film Series organized by the University of Miami Center for Latin American Studies. It will be followed by a question and answer session with filmmaker Amy Serrano. Tomorrow, November 13, Serrano will also lead a round table discussion about the film and the current situation of Haitian laborers in the Dominican Republic. Dominican diplomats also pressured the university to remove the film from the festival. Edgar Aponte, Dominican Minister Counselor, will be attending the event. Aponte works under Carlos Morales Troncoso, the Dominican Minister of Foreign Affairs, who happens to be the former president and CEO and current shareholder at the Fanjul-owned Central Romana Corporation in the Dominican Republic. “It is likely that the Fanjuls and their corporate cronies will respond by filling tonight’s screening with paid ‘sympathizers’ to harass Amy Serrano and try to undermine the power of the film’s message,” said Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) and producer of the film.

  • May 22, 2007. the Sentencing of Former FRAPH P
    Dear colleagues, Please find below the mainstream news on Haiti for April 27 – May 22, 2007. The sentencing of former FRAPH paramilitary leader, Emmanuel “Toto” Constant, in his New York mortgage fraud trial was postponed as the NY State Supreme Court received and considered claims from the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). Lawyers for the state attorney general’s office and the Dept. of Homeland Security advocated a plea deal of ‘time served,’ in this case 10 months, instead of the proposed one to three year sentence to speed Constant’s deportation. CCR lawyers argued that “Haiti’s justice system was too unstable to prosecute Constant” and “the proposed sentence in the fraud case was too lenient, given Constant’s background.” The judge rejected the plea agreement, now requiring Constant to stand trial (date set for Sept. 24th) for mortgage fraud, facing a maximum of 15 years in prison. Haitian lawyer, Mario Joseph, appeared before the judge advocating against Constant’s deportation and less leniency in sentencing. Two weeks following the disastrous capsizing of a boat of Haitian migrants off the coast of Turks and Caicos Islands, claiming at least 90 lives, 59 recovered corpses were returned for mass burial near Cap Haitian. The 78 survivors accuse a Turks and Caicos patrol boat of towing the migrant boat to deeper waters, ramming and causing their boat to capsize, preventing those in the water from entering the patrol boat and even running over people in the water. T & C authorities claim the boat capsized while being towed to shore. The Turks and Caicos government launched an investigation along with a British investigation of the incident and the migrants’ claims.
