Haiti – Cradle of Freedom Overturned
Special Guest David Welsh, SF Labor Council and Haiti Action Network

Tuesday, November 21, 1 – 3 PM
Unitarian-Universalist Center, Fireside Room
1187 Franklin St, at Geary Blvd, San Francisco

David Welsh is a long-standing journalist and labor, civil rights, and anti-imperialist activist and member of the Haiti Action Committee, who has made a number of trips for observation and solidarity with the struggle of Haitians against poverty, repression, US-aided overthrow of their government, and manipulation of the country to bring it back under direct control by the United States.

He has written on the role of Haitian police, troops of the replacement government, and the UN in suppressing the working class-based Lavolas movement and terrorizing the residents of Haiti's poorest neighborhoods.

He will speak on Haiti's history as the world's first black republic and as the first country in the western hemisphere to defeat the army of a European power and throw off the yoke of colonialism. He will also discuss continuing western efforts to subjugate and impoverish Haiti and the determination of Haitians to resist this.
