Beginning in 1791 and lasting through 1804, the Haitian Revolution was the only slave revolt in the “New World” to turn into a full blown revolution, and lead the the formation of the first Black republic. One of the main leaders of the revolution was Toussaint L’Ouverture, a former slave, who is pictured in the poster.
