SummaryResumen

The *Monitor* reported on a rally where Richard B. Moore of the American Negro Labor Congress condemned U.S. imperialist control over Haiti over a century after its independence from Napoleon.

cluded Richard B. Moore of the

American Negro Labor congress, who

acted as chairman; William Pickens,

Henry Rosemond, August Bernier,

J. J, Adams, Haitian representative at

the Geneva conference, and others.

Mr. Moore said a little more than a

hundred years after Haiti’s trium

phant struggle against Napoleon for

her complete independence, this is

land of the West Indies finds itself

under the steel heels of American

imperialism; a foreign control far

more menacing and crushing and

deadening than ever attended the po

litical control of one state over an

other.

Toussaint L’Overture was born a

slave in the French colony of Haiti,

then known as Santo Domingo,

When the revolution came in France

at the close of the eighteenth cen

tury the revolutionary ideas of Dan

ton and Robespierre found ready re

cruits among the toiling slaves and

iiscontented mulattoes of the oppress

ed island. L’Overture was the fore

most of the Santo Dominican leaders.

He not only overthrew slavery

throughout the island but carried on

i successful struggle against Napo

eon’s Themidoran policy of reaction

ind made way for the birth of the re

public of Haiti, according to the rec

prds contained in Chaplain T. G.

Steward’s History of the Republic of

Haiti.
