Haitian American Historical Society Inc

The Haitian American Historical Society (HAHS) is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage, culture, and contributions of the Haitian people to American and global history. Founded with the mission of honoring the sacrifices and achievements of Haitian ancestors, particularly those who played pivotal roles in historical events like the American Revolution, HAHS works to ensure that their legacy is remembered and celebrated. One of HAHS's signature accomplishments is the establishment of the Haitian Monument in Savannah, Georgia, honoring Les Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue, a group of over 500 Haitian soldiers who fought alongside American forces in 1779. This monument serves as a lasting tribute to the profound impact of Haitian contributions to the fight for freedom.Through educational programs, historical preservation efforts, and cultural events, HAHS continues to promote awareness of Haitian history, instill pride in Haitian-American communities, and engage the broader public in recognizing the importance of Haiti’s legacy. The Society is committed to empowering future generations by preserving the past and building a brighter future for the Haitian diaspora.
