#AYIBOBO #AYITI - On this day in 1804, Emporer Jean Jacques Dessalines stood at the helm of a free Afrikan Republic in #Haiti & Declared it independent:

"It is not enough to have expelled the barbarians who have bloodied our land for two centuries; it is not enough to have...
restrained those ever-evolving factions that one after another mocked the specter of liberty that France dangled before you. We must, with one last act of national authority, forever assure the empire of liberty in the country of our birth; we must take any hope of re-enslaving..
us away from the inhuman government that for so long kept us in the most humiliating torpor. In the end we must live independent or die.

Independence or death... let these sacred words unite us and be the signal of battle and of our reunion."
