Animator raises crowd a huge ovation greeted a dignitary government strode ksc forward to the microphone. I leaned closer Rony hear its translation ksc in Creole speaker. "God's blessing on all those in Haiti. Not from far away where we stand (speaker pointed) is the statue that reminds us of our history. 'Free Man Standing still calls to us, but today it is barely visible, struggling to breathe, surrounded and almost finished by thousands of tents covering all the space in the large square beyond this green fence ..... "My thoughts go to the lost meaning proud that status ksc "Free Man Standing" must keep the heart of Haiti. I imagine slave plantation owners reversed, beating French army and, against ksc all odds, to establish themselves ksc as a new state of the people released. As a result of reversing the order of the old, a new place, forever changing the self-concept, ksc self-establishing trust in government. Was filled in a country on a continent away slaves thrown into the island in a revolution remarkable survival overwhelming force in the relentless heat of a new place called Haiti - the country of mountains. Equality, fraternity, liberty and the rights of man rang the mountains. I saw Toussaint Louverture File etched in wall building. Napoleon sent General Leclerc order best French troops to restore order by quelling rebellion slaves. The result: all lost Napoleon like most of 44,000 French soldiers were sent to accomplish the task. On January ksc 1, 1804, (Year of the rest of the world), Haitian independence was declared. I dreamed of "Tale of Two Cities" Charles Dickens. [In the letter, I freely extract and paraphrase a description Dickens from Chapter XXI and apply them to what may have happened ksc in the months leading up to Independence Day for Haiti.] "Steel blades, bayonets and machetes shine in the sun . A tremendous roar arose from the throat slaves and a forest of naked black arms struggled in the air like shriveled branches of trees, fingers convulsively clutching the gun .... muskets were distributed - so were cartridges powder, and balls, bars of iron and wood, knives, axes, machetes, picks, any weapon distract intelligence could discover or devise slaves who can hold in nothing else, putting themselves and bleed but. forcing rock from underground .... all creatures life occurred as no account, and it was demented and a readiness to sacrifice his devotees. Leaders in order to provide uplift, released from machetes, axes and knives, put this man back, dragged this man forward, disarmed one of the other arm, and seek work in the thickest of the mess alive .... Black Sea up waves deep wave on depth and down the attack began. Ambushing from ditches deep deep right from the tree, they fought on the French ksc head for hours .... slight displacement of the sea raging, did not fall wounded wagonloads smoking. wet straw and branches, raw and fly furious sounding offshore living ..... So resistless force was the sea that gives slaves on, that even to draw breath or dizziness was as impossible as if they had difficulty in navigating the Caribbean. Widespread runs, exultation, deafening and maniacal bewilderment, astounding noise. from all these inconsistencies, ksc "Freedom!" heard most up side that run, as if there were a people of eternity, ksc as well as the time and space .... "and so on and I slowly lowered into a Battlefield disturbance on field islands and noise of Saint Antoine, France, he returned to the roar of the Haitian people filled the square. My feet died on the platform in front of the presidential palace gray cement. Gauntlet continues .....
