This week the Black Agenda Report team gives special emphasis to the nation of Haiti.
Ever since its inception, Black Agenda Report has given Haiti a level of attention it rarely receives from other media platforms. The Haitian revolution defeated European powers and freed its people, only to be punished for having done so for the next 200 years. First France, and then the U.S. stole Haiti's assets for many decades and left the nation impoverished. The U.S. and its Core Group allies in the UN, EU, France and Canada have prevented Haiti from being a democratic nation which works on behalf of all its people.
As always Black Agenda Report addresses a variety of issues, but this week there is a special emphasis on Haitian history, opposition to further occupations, and an analysis of present day conditions.
