Dear Artists & Humanitarians;
The Great Humanitarians of Haiti
HAITIANS SHALL REBUILD HAITI
This is my final entry. We must be re-educated on the history of Haiti. Most of us no so very little about this First Black Republic due to ignorance. Here is a historic fact to restart your re-education process. Haiti has in it's country what is considered the 8th Wonder of the World: La Citadelle Laferriere. La Citadelle Laferriere is located in northern Haiti. La Citadelle Laferriere was commission by one of Haiti's founding fathers: Henri Christophe. These mighty Haitian theologians, engineers, architects, artists, artisans, craftmen.... etc. designed the structure and interior of this mighty fortress. What is so unique is that this structure was built stone by stone on a MOUNTAINTOP!!
Intellegence and labor were the forces that enable these great craftmens to build on top of a mountain. La Citadelle Laferriere has withstood many earthquakes in the region. Haiti is also full with many beauty cathedrals and architecture. There are many landmarks in Haiti, built by Haitians.
The world famous Neg Mawon was created by Haitian humanitarian, architect and sculpture Albert Mangones. African-American humanitarian & sculptor Richard Barthe contribution to the decor of Haiti is also seen through the country.
These are a few things for you to reseach via Internet / library on the great humanitarians of Haiti.
Explore you minds.
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:

THE PEOPLE of HAITI
&
THE 1987 CONSTITUTION of the REPUBLIC of HAITI
In La Plaza of Port au Prince, Haiti, stood or is still standing, is a black marble monument with the words of the 1801 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti. I photographed this monument. It stands as the power and unity of Haiti. Today, the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti is a stronger reminder of the power and unity of Haiti. (Below is a copy of the Preamble of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti (translated in English). The people of Haiti are a strong and loving people. I had the rare opportunity of photographing the people of Port au Prince, Haiti at their daily lives 4 months before the earthquake.

Final Day
" I continued to walk. Many children were out of school, due to summer and running along les rues and helping their families sell their products. I photographed several artisan at work. I photographed a tailor, who smiled and wave, but continue to work. I photographed a knife / machete sharpener. The sparks were flying everywhere. I photographed a furniture maker who didn’t look up but was intense in his craft. It is not 6:30 am and le soleil is hot and one of the best artisan photographs I photographed was a man pulling a cart of 2 huge basket, as if an oxen. The streets are crowded with people. Some of the fried foods smell good, however I have breakfast waiting for me at the hotel. At one point I found myself walking in a circle. It is funny, I now know how to get around The Capital. There are no street signs, so you must remember landmarks and marking. The Jean-Bertrand Aristide monument was my focal point. It is the highest of the monuments and can be spotted from various spots. This is truly a proud nation. Bon Jours! and Saluts! are present everywhere in the morning. "

Dear Artists & Humanitarians;
THE HAITIAN WORKING CLASS
by Hugeaux
On my visit to Port au Prince in the summer of 2009, I had the rarity of photographing my friend Mr. Guyto's bread factory. The factory runs solely on a generator. Due to the earthquake the factory may no longer exist, however it is not in it's original condition. These rare photographs capture apart of the Haitian's working class. The Haitian community is a vibrant and healthy community. Before 6:00am the streets are full with people going to work.
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
August 18
Tuesday / Mardi
" After breakfast Mr. Guyto invited me to his boulangerie (bakery). He mentioned he wanted me to photograph his boulangerie. It was incredible and very hot. We passed through his rifle carrying security guard to his factory. He produces bread for some of the vender of Port au Prince to sell to the people of Port au Prince. He asked me to photograph his bread factory and employees. He has over 30 people working here and it is very, very, hot. I photographed where they kneaded the bread, the dough, the baking oven, the rising room, the generator ..etc. The factory is in production 24 hours and has shift workers. The factory doesn’t run on electricity, but my a gas generator.

HAITIAN LANDMARK: ARCHITECTURE: CATHEDRAL SACRE COEUR (Sacred Heart)
is COMPLETELY DESTROYED
by Hugeaux
In Port au Prince, Haiti book of city registry, The Cathedral Sacre Coeur is listed as a landmark and site to see while visiting Port au Prince, Haiti. I photograph the cathedral in the summer of 2009. I have learned that this historic and beauty architecture now stand in rumbles of stone. The historic architecture and decor of Port au Prince, Haiti is completely detroyed. These are some of the rarest or possibly ONLY images you shall see of Port au Prince, Haiti before the earthquake.
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
August 18
Tuesday / Mardi
"It is so peaceful here. I sleep about 10 hours a night here and awake very early in the morning. I dreamt about the countrymen of southern Haiti, which I saw yesterday. This morning before breakfast I took a walk towards the northern part of The Capital and visited the historic church Sacre Coeur. I photographed the church and its surroundings."

THE KABEL MURALS MAY BE DESTROYED BUT ARE DAMAGED in PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI.
by Hugeaux
The Kabel murals are the MOST historic murals in all of Port au Prince, Haiti. However, little and no information is known about their history. I discovered them in the summer of 2009 and documented them to the world. The artist / humanitarian known as Kabel is unknown, however his works speak of the beauty and strength of this First Black Republik: Haiti, his country. The Kabel murals capture the history of Haiti and also the Catholic religion which adorns the nation. I believe that the Kabel murals are destroyed because they circumference the Catholic Cathedral: Notre Dame de L’Assomption. The Catholic Cathedral: Notre Dame de L’Assomption was destroyed and killed the archbishop Serge Miot, whose office was in the cathedral.
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
August 19, 2009
Wednesday / Mercredi
Final Day
" I couldn’t sleep last night. I believe it is because I know I am returning back home today. I watched a lot of Haitian television last night, mainly news commentaries and some of a little league soccer game. This is the last entry of my Haiti trip. I am writing this entry while in the The International Aeroport de Toussaint L-Ouverture. I walked more of The Capital neighborhoods this morning. The Capital is bustling with people very early in the morning. As I walked up and down the mountainside roads I am overwhelmed by all the art work on buildings here. Every corner has art. The murals of the Hatian artist; Kabel, is the majority of murals I photographed. Kabel’s murals are large, full of fantasy and very colorful. Kabel is a pillar to the Humanities of Haiti. I do not know if he/she is alive or dead. The one most interesting site I photographed today was a sculpture of the famous Haitian freedom fighter: Yaya (a woman) with Kabel mural in the background. Yaya is to Haiti as Harriett Tubman is to the United States of America. Each corner opens up to alley-road neighborhoods. It is 6:00 am in the morning and people are moving as if it is 12:00 noon. Port au Prince is a large city. People are coming out of everywhere. "

I have the only known photo-documentary of these historic murals. Haiti is a beautiful and strong nation whose veins are full of art. The Kabel murals tell a history about this First Black Republik. Now, sadly to say, that these murals now stand as ruins. I attended a mass on my second walk through Port au Prince,Haiti at Notre Dame de L'Assomption, unbenounced to me, that the priest who was delivering the mass was archbishop Serge Miot.

Dedicated to Kabel, archbishop Serge Miot and the Nation of Haiti

THE HAITIAN MIGRATION 2010
ALL IS NOT LOST FOR HAITIANS. MANY HAITIAN FIND REFUGE IN THE LEOGANE, JACMEL, MIRAGOANE AND THE MASSIF de la SELLE REGION (southern Haiti).
by Hugeaux
Much is not lost for this First Black Republik for Haitians to rebuild their lives. Many come from the virgin-ness mountain areas of the country to live and work in Port au Prince. The mountain area is very rural and very farm living. Many traveling out of the city southward will find rest and refuge in Carrefour and Leogane (smaller cities). These cities may be the deciding factor. Leogane is the fork in the road. They may choose to turn left and travel through the mountains to Jacmel or continue straight to Miragoane and onward to Anse-a-Veau, Baraderes and onward to Jeremie in the Grand Anse region. Some may turn at Miragoane crossing the mountains to Aquin and onward to Cayes on the Carribean sea. Jacmel and Miragoane are larger cities. The Jacmel route has many shall NAMED villages among the mountains route where people live a beautiful farm life. Jacmel is located on the Carribean sea. These villagers will offer rest and refuge. The area is full of plants and animals. This may not be told, however, Haitians shall take care of Haitians. Many have relatives in these regions.
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:

(1:00pm)
Jacmel, The mountain region and Massif de la Selle region, Haiti
I am writing this entry while on the beach in Jacmel, Haiti. I took a swim in the Caribbean sea to refresh my senses. The Caribbean sea is very warm. The black sandy beaches are beautiful here. The mountains surround the sea, and you can still see the stream / fog from the mountains. The 3 hour drive from Port au Prince to Jacmel is full of some of the most beautiful scenery. Haiti is truly an ecological paradise. It was an adventure winding through the mountains, at one I thought I was going to fall off the cliff. Every turn is a picture. At the beginning of the climb, the standard shift car kept stalling. It wouldn’t crank, it stalled and wouldn’t crank. After I got the hang of driving through the mountains, I felt as if I was sailing. There are wild & domestic goats, cows, donkeys and pigs, etc. all along the mountain side.
(5:00pm)
The entire trip from Port au Prince to Jacmel took me 6 hours round trip. I spent one and a half hours in Jacmel. Haiti is truly an untold paradise. The people are so well fit. They are strong and healthy. Their skin is the color of the sun and earth. As I was driving through the mountains in the south of Haiti, I couldn’t help but notice, how the country people cultivated their crops. The crops are so well cultivated that the mountains look as if they have corn rows on them. I saw many ox driven carts and many donkey burden with straw and wood. I saw many women and men carrying buckets of supplies on their heads with perfect balance. The air is so fresh and clean, that one may become dizzy. The county people walk these mountains, so that is why they are in good physical health. This morning to Jacmel truly made up for not going to Cap Haitien (La Citadell, Palais and Sans Souci). On my way back from Jacmel I noticed a guave tree growing very tall, with green fruit. I stopped, photographed it and ate the fruit. One of the most exciting things that happened on the beach in Jacmel, was a elderly local wood sculptor approached me with buying his wooden sculpture. It is a very heavy wooden sculpture of a black man smoking a pipe and holding a machete, with the inscription Jacmel Haiti. It looks like the Haitian countrymen whom I saw earlier. We haggled over the price and I gave him my haggle price, which he accepted. The irony behind this is that Haiti is a country of negotiating. No man leaves until a solution is set. This is typical by it market filled streets. I have seen countrymen selling their crops, Haitian rhum and real French champagne on the streets in Port au Prince. A person mentioned to me why Port au Prince, is so congested is because it is a place for all to meet and socialize. The tap-taps (buses) are filled with people coming to the city from the countryside. I got to see Carre Four and Leogagne, other cities in southern Haiti, because I had to drive through them. I got out and photographed the Caribbean sea from Carre Four. There are many other small towns throughout the mountains, but I can’t remember their names. They are like villages, about 30 - 50 people. I noticed all the unfinished mansions, that were along the mountains. They are very huge structures, whose construction came to a stop and the countrymen use them for many functions. I heard donkey braying, goats naying and cows mooing all along the mountains, and while in the valley you could hear their echoes. The people are very beautiful. They appear to glisten in the sun. Their smiles are pure white and many of the countrymen seem well at ease. I am glad I took this journey to Jacmel by myself, because I would never had enjoyed myself if I had hired a companion. Tomorrow I shall visit the wealthiest side of Haiti: Petionville. Petionville is the home of the Haitian millionaires. I was not hungry, so I didn’t dine in the restaurant……Good Night and my God Bless…Hugeaux

HAITI MAY HAVE LOST ALL ITS NATIONAL TREASURES
by Hugeaux
La Plaza is the area where The Palais Naccional (Capital) is located in Port au Prince, Haiti. Most of you do not know that the treasure of Haiti's history is house in the MUPANAH (Musee de Patheleon National Hatien) or in other term Haiti's Smithsonian, also in the area.
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
"This museum is a jewel of Haiti, as Haiti is proud to be the first black republic. I saw the official documents, pistol etc., of Toussaint L;Ouverture. I saw the original anchor of one of Christopher Columbus’s ships. I saw the original portrait of Henri Christophe by Richard Evans. I saw the original pure gold crown of emperor Faustin-Elie Soulouque, made of pure gold, diamonds, turquoise, garnets, etc. I saw the earrings of his wife; empress Adelina. I saw the original small flag that Haiti gave to the United States of America to place on the moon from Apollo #11, under the presidency of Richard Nixon. I saw and touched Henri Christophe original safe of the Palais Sans Souci, which was once full with treasures. I saw the hall of presidents. I was surprised that Haiti had a woman president by the name of Ertha Pascel Trouillot (pres. 1990 - 1991). I saw the wall which has all the names of Haitian freedom fighters. There are bust of the four Founding Fathers: L’Ouverture, Dessaline, Christophe and Petion. This is just naming a fews of the many wonderful sites and history of MUPANAH"
MUPANAH has a beautiful water fountain on top of it, full of water. During the earthquake the water fountain must also have cracked and leaked into the museum and destroyed Haiti's treasures. MUPANAH must have been destroyed as well because it is located right accross the street from the National Palace (Capital).
Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
" The Jean-Jacque DesSaline monument (founding Father, created by African American sculptor Richard Barthe) which was fenced and surrounded by the many flags of Haiti, The Henri Christophe monument (founding Father), The Alexandre Sabes Petion monument (founding Father & Father of the PanAmerican movement), La Palais Nacional, The Jean-Bertrand Aristide monuments (un-finished which is suppose to an eternal flame of fire), The Neg Mawon sculpture(the famous unknown Maroon) and The Toussaint L’Ouverture monument in front of La Palais National ( founding Father created by African American sculpture Richard Barthe) and others."
These monuments are also in the La Plaza area and must have been destroyed as well. No one his reporting on the rich culture Haiti has lost: the architecture, The Kabel murals, monuments, art....etc
Artists and Humanitarians please remember that Haiti has lost 95% of it national history. Until other further report is known, this stand as logical documented.
