"Selama dua ratus tahun Haiti telah berenang di hulu. Kami adalah negara pertama di mana kemerdekaan dimenangkan oleh sekelompok budak - budak hitam. Di seberang air, negara yang baru saja mencapai kemerdekaan - AS - masih melakukan perbudakan."

For two hundred years Haiti has been swimming upstream. We were the first country in which independence was won by a group of slaves - black slaves. Across the water, the country that had just achieved independence - the U.S. - still practiced slavery.
