The Bostonian Haitian Diaspora gathered in front of the John F. Kennedy Building on Monday, October 17, 2022, to express themselves on the 216 anniversary of the assassination of Jean Jacques Dessalines to make all Haitians in the world set their sights on our history as a nation, as a people! In attendance was the President of ITIAHaiti, Itiahism, Wilson Thelimo Louis. He expressed himself as a Haitian artist, poet, and writer promoting the Creole language! Thelimo made a gesture at the time that appeared to be misunderstood by the people there. He put the Blue and Red Haitian Flag, known by the Haitian Constitution, on the ground and stood on it while having the Black and Red Flag draped around his body.
With two rows of tears, Wilson revived the motto "Liberty or Death" by Jean Jacques Dessalines by making it known that Haiti is the First Negro Republic in the world. The poet wrapped his body with the "black and red flag" of the Emperor and signed his divorce with all the perceptions that would make people believe that blacks and mulattos are equal in the land of the father of the nation. For the sake of the drama, if black and mulatto people were similar, the country's last president would not have died in this diplomatic scheme. For Wilson, children would have gone to school, and small-eared men would have done business freely without serving as puppets of corrupt oligarchs.
Many citizens and representatives in the peaceful demonstration did not understand the message the poet wanted to sell to the world. It was a citizen who wrapped his body in the (blue and red) flag (which made him believe that blacks and mulattos are united) and played on the ground to convey the symbolic message of freedom or death in a more refined way. All the protesters believe that the moment Haiti goes through does not respect any principle of human rights. They believe other nations looking at Haiti have doubts about the international community that would also be complicit in Haiti's fate. For Wilson Thelimo Louis, Juris, social communicator, public servant, and activist, the racial struggle must unmask itself without hypocrisy by accepting all races without discrimination and the false appearance of egalitarianism.
Keish Desir,
Black Norwood President.
