A Competition that Celebrates Haitian Excellence

The main objective of this competition is to strengthen the knowledge of young Haitians by encouraging them to explore topics such as Haitian civics, history, geography, culture and literature. By participating in this competition, young people not only develop their intellectual curiosity, but they also gain a better understanding of their own country. Furthermore, this competition is an opportunity for members of the Haitian diaspora to reconnect with their roots and become more familiar with their country of origin.

Coordinated by Peladja Menelas and hosted by Zachary Thermo and Ishtar Pady, each Sunday a match is recorded and broadcast on Dracut Access TV, before being published on social networks for a wider audience.

Haïti / Fort Saint-Joseph: Historical Vestige of the Resistance

Located in the Bay of Cap-Haitien, Fort Saint-Joseph stands like a silent guardian of Haiti’s tumultuous history. Built in two stages, in 1748 and 1774, this defensive work was once a crucial element of the city’s protection system against French colonial assaults. Alongside other forts such as Picolet and Magny, its mission was to control maritime passages and defend Haitian sovereignty. However, its history is not limited to its defensive function. In 1802, then under the control of General Henry Christophe, the fort became the scene of a heroic act of resistance. Faced with the French expeditionary army, Christophe ordered the destruction of the powder magazine and the entrance gate to the fort, thus rendering it temporarily unusable. This courageous gesture, although tactical, left indelible scars on the very structure of the fort, testifying to the fierce clashes between French colonial forces and Haitian resistance fighters. These historic marks, still visible today, offer a window into the country’s tumultuous past. They allow visitors and historians to interpret the fierce struggles that forged Haitian identity. Fort Saint-Joseph, as a witness to the resistance and the struggle for freedom, embodies the indomitable spirit of the Haitian people. Recognizing its historical significance, the Haitian government officially classified Fort Saint-Joseph as national heritage in 1995. This recognition paved the way for restoration efforts aimed at preserving this precious vestige of Haitian military heritage. Thanks to collaboration between the public sector and local private funding, the fort has recently been restored and enhanced. Thus, Fort Saint-Joseph remains much more than a simple stone structure. It is a living symbol of the resilience and determination of the Haitian people, reminding all visitors that Haiti’s history is deeply rooted in the struggle for freedom and human dignity.
