iciHaiti - Heritage : Bois Caïman listed by UNESCO 11/10/2024 10:39:08
Submitted in January 2024, the Bois Caïman candidacy is part of the Haitian Government's initiatives to promote national heritage. Bois Caïman, which was the scene of a socio-political ceremony in August 1791, symbolizes the struggle for the abolition of slavery and the independence of Haiti. This site embodies the universal values of freedom, equality and dignity. As a symbol of resistance and the quest for self-determination, Bois Caïman remains an essential milestone in the history of the Haitian Revolution and the formation of the Haitian State. Classified as a national tourist heritage site since 1982 and declared of public utility in 1995, Bois Caïman is now a universal symbol of emancipation. Its inclusion in this Network reinforces its role as a catalyst for a global dialogue on the history of slavery and the struggles for freedom. iH/ iciHaiti
