Magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the southern coast of Haïti this morning; 4 miles from L'Asile, Haïti.

According to sources on the ground, the earthquake struck and is affecting the south-western part of the country.

Towns currently assessing damage are Les Cayes, Camp-Perrin, Jeremie among other southern cities.

Reports are still coming in and can be very unreliable this close to a catastrophic event, please keep yourself informed and diligent.

Be weary of non-Haïtian entities claiming to provide help in the coming days and weeks.

Please wait for RELIABLE HAÏTIAN sources before providing aid.

Thank you for your prayers and solidarity.

African born, Dessalines is remembered for his sheer brute force and thirst to inflict on white French men, women, and children the same horrific punishments and tortures inflicted on black enslaved men, women, and children.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Napoleon may have thought that he undermined the slave revolt by eliminating their most prominent figure, however, he hadn't anticipated the determination of deeply spiritual people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Toussaint's most honorable qualities may have clouded his judgment, which may have contributed to his demise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toussaint wrote a series of letters to Napoleon requesting to negotiate "leader of the whites" to "leader of the blacks".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Napoleon sent a ship to bring Toussaint back to France, he was brutally imprisoned, received poor treatment, and died in a prison cell of pneumonia.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Toussaint is a unique figure in our history, due to his upbringing and life experiences. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toussaint learned to read and write from a young age, despite being born a slave. He's one of few, if not the only one, who was born into slavery, and rose to high ranks in society upon receiving his freedom.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Toussaint advocated for equality between all races and drafted one of the first documents in history calling for equal opportunity for all humans.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
