#Trump admin Asks #SCOTUS to End Protections for #Haitian Immigrants

Trump asked the #SupremeCourt to allow it to end a program shielding roughly 350,000 Haitians from #deportation. In the request, the second aimed at a specific group of #immigrants in recent weeks, the admin asserted that lower courts had sought to block White House initiatives in ways that “inflict specific harms to the national interest & foreign relations.” Read

Just had a curator over, looking for materials for a #Haitian Flag day exhibit, and I was able to show her some appropriate and totally obscure achival documents from my late husband's collection. I must have missed this box when I was donating his papers 🤷🏽‍♀

In 2006 Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié, painted a portrait of the formerly enslaved revolutionary Toussaint Louverture.

#Louverture led the first successful slave revolution. He outlawed slavery, instituted a fair constitution, was elected ruler for life, but stepped down, in a deal with France, to stop them from invading. Again. He was captured by napoleon and died in French prison. Haiti is so poor because they’ve paid 21 billion dollars to France, well into the 20th century, as punishment for freeing themselves.

I tell you that story, because Haitian-Italian designer Stella Jean designed the suits for the #Haitian athletes to reference the famous painting. The day of opening ceremonies, the #Olympic committee said they had to take Louverture off the uniforms, or they would not be allowed to compete or walk in ceremonies. Ms Jean pulled it off, painting for hours, but this just pissed me right the hell off.

Talk about erasure, right out in the open. Shameful.
