Veritas Vos Liberabit - La Vérité vous Affranchira
LORSQU'ON S'EN PREND A LA LIBERTE D'EXPRESSION D'UN INDIVIDU OU D'UN GROUPE DE GENS, C'EST UN ATTENTAT A LA LIBERTE D'EXPRESSION DE TOUT LE PEUPLE QU'ON S'EN PRENNE. L'ARBITRAIRE, SOUS TOUTES SES FORMES, NE DOIT EXISTER DANS UNE HAITI VRAIMENT DEMOCRATIQUE, INDEPENDANTE ET LIBRE.
Reading opened my eyes on three prominent men I never heard of. I discovered Félix Darfour this year while working on a new The 1843 Revolution book. The publicist’s illuminating thoughts led me to two other prominent and unknown personalities. Jean-Baptiste Geffroy Lislet and Angelo Soliman.
Jean Baptiste Geffroy Lislet was born August 23, 1753. He made a name for himself in cartographic designs.
Angelo Soliman was born in Nigeria, year 1721.
He is credited for marrying an aristocrat and creating a free mason enterprise in his adopted country. What made the Angelo Soliman’s life story interesting are claims made by several historians that during slavery there were no race mixing that included a black man and a white woman.
If you read stories written and published in La Revue de Paris newspaper by Le Marquis de Cassagnac, you’d be led into believing that theory.
Félix Darfour’s name remained unknown by generations, until year 2026. No pictures of him could be found anywhere. But his ideas lived and the stories he left to future generations are illuminating.
