On July 28, 1915, U.S. Marines who were selected from the most racist southern states invaded the abolitionist Republic of Haiti, upon executive order of U.S President Woodrow Wilson. Within a matter of months, they raped, tortured or killed hundreds of women, men and children all over Haiti. They stole the country's gold reserve and sent it to National City Bank of New-York.
Provided the white supremacist environment of the day, few were surprised by the attitude of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson who justified his heinous action on the basis of "manifest destiny". Inspired by the crimes of their forefathers, Yankee occupation forces instated a race-based slavery system, dubbed "la corvée", upon which black Haitians were forced to build roads for use by U.S. occupation forces. Haitian resistance leaders were rounded up and killed by the hundreds.
A couple of decades prior to the invasion of Haiti, when the U.S. tried to recruit famous African-American abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass to facilitate the theft of Haiti's Môle St-Nicolas, Douglass refused to cooperate. On account of his principled stance, Douglass was accused of being a "traitor to America".
Throughout the occupation years, African-American author and NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson raised a mighty voice to research, document, publicize and denounce the atrocities being committed against Haiti's population.
These gentlemen took great risks defending right over might, in a day when white supremacist racism was all powerful in America. These were days when a black man could not vote. Folks then could not even imagine a day coming when a black family would eventually live as "owners" in the White House.
