The Last Thing Haiti Needs Is Another Military Intervention PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI
October 21, 2022 -According to Vijay Prashad of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, Ever since the Haitian Revolution won independence from France in 1804, Haiti has faced successive waves of invasions, including a two-decade-long U.S. occupation from 1915 to 1934, a U.S. backed dictatorship from 1957 to 1986, two Western-backed coups against the progressive former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991 and 2004, and a U.N. military intervention from 2004 to 2017.
These invasions have prevented Haiti from securing its sovereignty and have prevented its people from building dignified lives. Another invasion, whether by U.S. and Canadian troops or by U.N. peacekeeping forces, will only deepen the crisis.

On November 11, 1915, Haitian President Sudre Dartiguenave was forced to sign a treaty with ratification by the Haitian Senate The document legitimized the US occupation and put Haitian finances and government under the control of the US for the next 20 years. The controversial amendment also aimed to disband the Haitian army and permit foreign land ownership that had been outlawed since the Haitian Revolution. However, the reluctant lawmakers rejected that notion and rather began drafting a new anti-American constitution, but under U.S pressure, that bill was kept undecided by President Dartiguenave till 1929.
In 1929, a series of strikes and uprisings against the U.S initiated the withdrawal of U.S Marines from Haiti. In 1934, in concert with the "Good Neighbor Policy" introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S Marine was officially withdrawn from Haiti except for retaining a few for maintaining economic connections. The status quo of personality-driven politics dominated by the same faces that have ruled for decades is untenable. Future elections will only be successful if youth are at the forefront of politics and governance, including constitutional and electoral reform processes, civic and voter awareness efforts, political party campaigns, and peacebuilding and security initiatives. The U.S. should bolster citizen security initiatives and prioritize efforts that are locally led and centered around youth by addressing the key factors that drive susceptibility to recruitment.

Industrial Education for Black Americans
One of the most fundamental and far-reaching deeds that has been accomplished during the last quarter of a century has been that by which the Negro has been helped to find himself and to learn the secrets of civilization–to learn that there are a few simple, cardinal principles upon which a race must start its upward course, unless it would fail, and its last estate be worse than its first.

On the plantation in Virginia, and even later, Douglass tells how meals were given to the children, very much as dumb animals get theirs. It was a piece of bread here and a scrap of meat there. It was a cup of milk at one time and some potatoes at another.
