Reflecting on Haiti: Tragedy to Triumph

I've always been fascinated by the enclaves in which immigrant communities will attempt recreate "home" (has a bit to do with how I ended up in my current neighborhood).

For first generation Haitian-Americans who were born and reared across what we call the diaspora, I find our experience is marked by certain shared memories.

These days, I cherish that culture, history more than ever. Wrote a little post about it over at the super blog of the gentlemen of Coup d'etat Brooklyn. Check it out here.
