NEW YORK— Mayor Eric Adams honored several Haitian American luminaries during an event coinciding with commemorations of Bwa Kayiman, the ceremony that officially launched the Haitian Revolution.
“You are still paying the price for the strength and courage of Toussaint Louverture because of his unwillingness to bend and surrender to European enslavement because he stood up,” Adams said, according to a transcript of the Aug. 14 event held at Gracie Mansion.
“People are still attempting to hold you accountable for it,” Adams continued. “But let me tell you something. He gave me my strength that no matter what I went through when I saw the power and how he defeated the French, I said we could defeat anything if we only believe in ourselves and believe in our liberation. That’s who you represent and you should be so proud as a country and what you are doing here in New York City.”
Honorees include Judge Raymond Lohier of the United States Court of Appeals; Sandra Dieudonne, a supervising attorney for Catholic Charities’ Haitian Response Initiative; Errol Pierre, Senior Vice President at Healthfirst; Yves “Fanfan Tibòt” Joseph of Tabou Combo; and Kervin André, a visual artist. The event concluded with remarks from Antonio Rodrigue, Haiti’s ambassador to the United Nations, who expressed his pride in the resilience and ingenuity of the Haitian people and the importance of celebrating Haitian heritage. The event was a powerful testament to the rich cultural contributions of the Haitian community to New York City and the broader American society.
