The negative media these past weeks concerning our Haitian brothers and sisters has been very painful for us. We have lived and worked with Haitians in Haiti for 10 years, and Haitian immigrants in North Miami these past two years. We know them well.
Haitians take great pride in family and community – they are survivors, talented, hardworking and are seeking the American dream like many of our families did when they arrived in America.
The lies being spread have been verified to be false and demean the human dignity of Haitian Americans.
This is not what America was built upon. We are to be one nation under God, where all should be respected and not be disparaged. We can do better.
