Dominicans and Haitians are coming together to commemorate the 75th year of the Haitian Massacre, using art to tell stories untold. October 2012 marks the 75th anniversary of the 1937 Haitian Massacre: thousands of Haitians and their Dominican-born descendants were murdered in what the US Ambassador in Santo Domingo, R. Henry Norweb, described as “a systematic campaign of extermination.”
Members of the Haitian and Dominican diaspora and activists across the world are coming together to commemorate, collaborate, and spread awareness about the Haitian Massacre and to shed light on current injustices faced by Dominicans of Haitian descent living in the Dominican Republic.
