A memorable night at El Museo del Barrio
Last Wednesday night Haitians and Dominicans came together to fight against oppression, tyranny and fear that keep our fellow brothers and sisters in the Dominican Republic under pressure. They used their talents and gifts to demonstrate that we are one. The show started with a group from the Dominican Republic " Los plenemos de la 21" followed by the poet Black Angel, Congo Haitian roots music, Peniel Guerrier dance, the legacy women and of course, our songstress Emeline Michel to end the night by a superb performance. We realized how much music, rythm and dance bring us all together, we are all draw from one source, the Haitian roots.

Member of the " International Campaign to End Apartheid in the Dominican Republic" was there to invite us to join the total boycott of all businesses and tourism in the DR. We Remember the activist Sonia Pierre who dedicated her life to fight for the right and equality for Haitians, Dominicans and Haitian-Dominicans living on the DR.
