Alex St. Surin Interviews Dr. Jerry Gilles
This year, 2011, marks the 220th anniversary of Bwa Kayiman, the series of preparatory meetings and religious service that preceded the launching of the Haitian Revolution. The outcome of these meetings was instrumental in creating the modern world, a world without legalized slavery. In commemoration of this important event, we are posting an interview about the seldom recounted factual events surrounding Bwa Kayiman....
In the interview which took place in August 2010, Alex St. Surin talks with Mrs. and Dr. Jerry M. Gilles to debunk many of the myths surrounding Bwa Kayiman. We have divided the interview into six parts which are accessible by clicking on the six musical note icons to your right.
