Black History 365 | # 117 Toussaint Louverture

June 24, 2024

Did you know Francois-Dominique Toussaint Louverture led a successful slave revolt and emancipated the French colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti)? He is known as the most prominent leader of the Haitian Revolution. He was knighted and recognized as a general as he demonstrated extraordinary military ability throughout many battles. In 1802 he was invited to “parley,” by French General Jean-Baptiste Brunet after the French were defeated, but was tricked and arrested upon his arrival. He was deported and jailed, tortured, and killed in 1803. Kinda clowned out for that a bit 🤷🏾‍♂️. Still Haiti has had the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere.
