To give you a scale of how monumental the series of events that took place in Saint Domingue, now Haiti, were consider it this way. The comparison in US history would be for the Revolution, Civil War and Civil Rights Movement all taking place at the same time. #1791project

Hey @mrdannyglover - it's ridiculous that nobody wanted to fund your movie about Toussaint. No chance you'd want to help me produce my series on the Haitian Revolution (set 1788-1805), is there? 🙏🙏 #1791project

Es muchísimo lo que podemos aprender en este maravilloso artículo de @FictionsofHaiti sobre la representación de la revolución haitiana. All the Devils Are Here – How the visual history of the Haitian Revolution misrepresents Black suffering and death. urlzs.com/gmkzL

@Mimi_Luxemburg When you've read Black Jacobins and any other books on the revolution, I recommend you reread Black Jacobins again. There's a considerable amount in subtext that isn't immediately necessarily obvious on first reading! I still find something new having read at least five times 📚

The future of the Revolution from 1802 onwards turned on the toss of a coin. Had Napoleon enshrined Toussaint’s constitution, which he eventually regretted not doing, then that multicultural colony could (emphasis on could) have signalled a new era of Caribbean history.

It was a white abolitionist who unexpectedly - even unexpected to himself - decreed abolition, albeit in tenuous circumstances. Toussaint build a state apparatus that included all races. This is not an exclusive story of black versus white. It’s deeply complicated, like life.

You might ask why a series on the Haitian Revolution is important? The answer is that it’s a forgotten, largely shunned period of history. It’s not well known in the west largely because the western world does not want you to remember it because of its role. #1791project

Too much assumed knowledge, which means there’s a lot - and I mean a lot - that you’d miss if you have no prior understanding of the Revolution, French feudal society, the French Revolution, or Caribbean, colonial & post-colonial African history

@haitiscript The voodoo woman who lived to like, 120. Sorry, don't remember name. John David Washington would fit in a lot of roles, but I think he'd make a good Dessalines.
