About the event
Join us to celebrate Haiti's people, culture, and history with Rise Up!/ Leve!: Celebrating the Haitian Revolution of 1804. Through music, stories, and craft-making, we will kick off the countdown to one of Haiti's biggest national holidays -- Haitian Flag Day on May 18 -- and time-travel explore the slave revolt that defeated Europe's most powerful armies. Kids will make Haitian Hero Shields adorned with the colors of the Haitian flag and featuring some of the revolution's famous freedom fighters.
