1801 Constitution Copy Haitian Juillet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Haitian history as General Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the first ruler of independent Haiti, holds a printed copy of the newly adopted Constitution of 1801. The date, le 1er juillet 1801, is inscribed at the bottom of the document, marking the establishment of the world's first independent black nation. Dessalines stands proudly before an assembly of Haitian soldiers and citizens, with a bishop and an image of God or Moses in the heavens looking down upon them. The scene exudes a sense of unity and determination, as the people of Haiti gathered to affirm their newfound sovereignty and forge a path towards a better future. The printed Constitution, a testament to their resilience and perseverance, is held aloft as a symbol of hope and progress. This powerful image encapsulates the spirit of the Haitian Revolution and the indomitable will of its people, who defied the odds and created a nation that would inspire generations to come.
