FARRAKHAN: HAITI REVOLUTIONARIES FRIGTHEN WEST
Today, August 22, marks the date the Haitian Revolution began in 1791. It culminated in 1804 when the Caribbean island nation made history as the world’s first independent Black state. In this clip, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, succinctly lays out how Haiti’s revolutionary past still influences foreign interventions. Napoleon’s ‘greatest army on earth’ got whopped thanks to the Black brothers of François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and Henri Christophe. And that’s a lesson that still frightens the USA today.

PS. In case you’re interested, here’s some extra info on those three Black brothers that shaped history.
Toussaint Louverture was a Haitian general and the most prominent leader of the Haitian Revolution. Known as the ‘Father of Haiti,’ he turned a slave rebellion into a revolutionary movement fighting against Napoleon’s Empire. In 1802, Toussaint Louverture was betrayed, captured, and sent to prison in France, where he died.
Dessalines then became the main leader of the resistance, the first Haitian Emperor, and the first ruler of an independent Haiti. He spearheaded Haiti’s defeat of French forces committing massacres and won independence from France in 1804. Under him, Haiti became the first country to abolish slavery in the Americas. Dessalines also freed Santo Domingo (now the Dominican Republic) from French colonial rule. He was assassinated in 1806.
After Dessaline’s death, Henri Christophe retreated to the Plaine-du-Nord and created a separate government. In 1807, he was elected president of the state of Haiti. Later, in 1811, he created a kingdom in the north and became Haiti’s only monarch.
